Deuteronomy 22:13-21
13SupposeH3588 a manH376 marriesH3947 a womanH802, has relations withH935 herH413, and comes to hate herH8130, 14and he then accusesH7760 her of shameful conductH5949H1697 and gives herH3318H5921 a badH7451 nameH8034, sayingH559, “I marriedH3947 thisH2063 womanH802 and had relations withH7126 herH413, but I discoveredH4672 she was notH3808 a virginH1331.”
15Then the young woman’sH5291 fatherH1 and motherH517 shall bringH3318 the proof of herH5291 virginityH1331 toH413 the cityH5892 eldersH2205 at the gateH8179 16and sayH559 toH413 the eldersH2205, “I gaveH5414 my daughterH1323 in marriageH802 to thisH2088 manH376, but he has come to hate herH8130. 17And nowH2009 heH1931 has accused herH7760 of shameful conductH5949H1697, sayingH559, ‘I discovered thatH4672 your daughterH1323 was notH3808 a virginH1331.’ But here is the proofH428 ofH1323 her virginityH1331.” And they shall spread outH6566 the clothH8071 beforeH6440 the cityH5892 eldersH2205.
18Then the eldersH2205 of thatH1931 cityH5892 shall takeH3947 the manH376 and punish himH3256. 19They are also to fineH6064 himH853 a hundredH3967 shekels of silverH37011 and give themH5414 to the young woman’sH5291 fatherH1, becauseH3588 this man has givenH3318 a virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 a badH7451H5921 nameH8034. And she shall remainH1961 his wifeH802; he must notH3808H3201 divorce herH7971 asH3605 long as he livesH3117.
20If, howeverH518, thisH2088 accusationH1697 isH1961 trueH571, and noH3808 proof of the young woman’sH5291 virginityH1331 can be foundH4672, 21she shall be broughtH3318 toH413 the doorH6607 of her father’sH1 houseH1004, and there the menH582 of her cityH5892 will stone herH5619H68 to deathH4191. ForH3588 she has committedH6213 an outrageH5039 in IsraelH3478 by being promiscuousH2181 in her father’sH1 houseH1004. So you must purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from among youH7130.2
