Deuteronomy 22:13-29
13If a manH376 takeH3947 a wifeH802, and goH935 in unto her and hateH8130 her,
14and charge her with thingsH1697 for scandalous talk, and cause an evilH7451 nameH8034 against her to be spread abroad, and sayH559, This womanH802 have I takenH3947, and I cameH3318 in unto her, and I did not findH4672 her a virgin;
15then shall the fatherH1 of the damsel, and her motherH517, takeH3947 and bringH3318 forthH3318 the tokens of the damsel's virginityH1331 unto the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 in the gateH8179;
16and the damsel's fatherH1 shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205, I gaveH5414 my daughterH1323 unto this manH376 as wifeH802, and he hatesH8130 her;
17and behold, he charges her with thingsH1697 for scandalous talk, sayingH559, I foundH4672 not thy daughterH1323 a virgin; and hereH2009 are the tokens of my daughter's virginityH1331. And they shall spreadH6566 the clothH8071 before the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892.
18And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 the manH376 and chastise him;
19and they shall fine him a hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and giveH5414 them unto the fatherH1 of the damsel, because he hath caused an evilH7451 nameH8034 to beH1961 spread abroad against a virginH1330 in IsraelH3478. And she shall remain his wifeH802: he may not putH5414 her awayH7971 all his daysH3117.
20But if this thingH1697 is true, [and] virginityH1331 hath not beenH1961 foundH4672 with the damsel;
21then they shall bringH3318 out the damsel unto the entranceH6607 of her father's houseH1004, and the menH376 of her cityH5892 shall stoneH68 her with stonesH68 that she dieH4191: because she hath wrought infamy in IsraelH3478, committing fornication in her father's houseH1004; and thou shalt putH4191 evilH7451 away from thy midstH7130.
22If a manH376 be foundH4672 lyingH7901 with a man's wifeH802, they shall both of them dieH4191, the manH376 that layH7901 with the womanH802, and the womanH802; and thou shalt putH4191 away evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.
23If a damsel, a virginH1330, beH1961 betrothedH781 to some oneH376, and a manH376 findH4672 her in the cityH5892, and lieH7901 with her,
24then ye shall bringH3318 them both out unto the gateH8179 of that cityH5892, and stoneH68 them with stonesH68 that they dieH4191; the damsel, because she criedH6817 not, [being] in the cityH5892, and the manH376, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wifeH802; and thou shalt putH4191 evilH7451 away from thy midstH7130.
25But if a manH376 findH4672 a betrothedH781 damsel in the fieldH7704, and the manH376 force her, and lieH7901 with her, then the manH376 onlyH905 that layH7901 with her shall dieH4191;
26and unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing: there is in the damsel no sinH2399 worthy of deathH4194; for as when a manH376 riseth against his neighbour, and murdereth him, soH3651 is this matterH1697;
27for he foundH4672 her in the fieldH7704, the betrothedH781 damsel criedH6817, and there was no one to saveH3467 her.
28If a manH376 findH4672 a damsel, a virginH1330, who is not betrothedH781, and layH7901 hold on her, and lieH7901 with her, and they be foundH4672,
29then the manH376 that layH7901 with her shall giveH5414 unto the damsel's fatherH1 fiftyH2572 [shekels] of silverH3701, and she shall beH1961 his wifeH802, because he hath humbled her; he may not putH5414 her awayH7971 all his daysH3117.
