And she shall remainH1961 his wifeH802; he cannotH3201H3808 8divorceH7971 her allH3605 his daysH3117.
20“But ifH518 thisH2088 910chargeH1697 is trueH571, that the girlH5291 was not foundH4672 a virginH1331, 21then they shall bringH3318 out the girlH5291 to the doorwayH6607 of her father’sH1 houseH1004, and the menH376 of her cityH5892 shall stoneH5619 her 11to deathH4191 becauseH3588 she has 12committedH6213 an actH5039 of follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 by playingH2181 the harlotH2181 in her father’sH1 houseH1004; thus 13you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.
