Deuteronomy 22:13-27

13“1IfH3588 anyH376 manH376 takesH3947 a wifeH802 and goesH935 in to her and then 2turnsH8130 againstH8130 her, 14and chargesH7760 her with shamefulH5949 deedsH1697 and 3publiclyH3318 defamesH8034H7451H3318 her, and saysH559, ‘I tookH3947 thisH2088 womanH802, but when I cameH7126 nearH7126 her, I did not findH4672 her a virginH1331,’ 15then the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 and her motherH517 shall takeH3947 and bringH3318 out the evidence of the girl’sH5291 virginityH1331 to the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 at the gateH8179. 16The girl’sH5291 fatherH1 shall sayH559 to the eldersH2205, ‘I gaveH5414 my daughterH1323 to thisH2088 manH376 for a wifeH802, but he 4turnedH8130 againstH8130 her; 17and beholdH2009, he has chargedH7760 her with shamefulH5949 deedsH1697, sayingH559, “I did not findH4672 your daughterH1323 a virginH1331.” But 5thisH428 is the evidenceH1331 of my daughter’sH1323 virginityH1331.’ And they shall spreadH6566 the garmentH8071 beforeH6440 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892. 18So 6the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 the manH376 and chastiseH3256 him, 19and they shall fineH6064 him a hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701 and giveH5414 it to the girl’sH5291 fatherH1, becauseH3588 he 7publiclyH3318 defamedH8034H7451H3318 a virginH1330 of IsraelH3478. 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.

22“14IfH3588 a manH376 is foundH4672 lyingH7901 with a marriedH1166H1167 womanH802, then bothH1571H8147 of them shall dieH4191, the manH376 who layH7901 with the womanH802, and the womanH802; thus you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.

23“15IfH3588 there is a girlH5291 who is a virginH1330 engagedH781 to a manH376, and another manH376 findsH4672 her in the cityH5892 and liesH7901 with her, 24then you shall bringH3318 them bothH8147 out to the gateH8179 of that cityH5892 and you shall stoneH5619 them 16to deathH4191; the girlH5291, becauseH5921H1697H834 she did not cryH6817 out in the cityH5892, and the manH376, becauseH5921H1697H834 he has violatedH6031 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802. Thus you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.

25“But ifH518 in the fieldH7704 the manH376 findsH4672 the girlH5291 who is engagedH781, and the manH376 forcesH2388 her and liesH7901 with her, then onlyH905 the manH376 whoH834 liesH7901 with her shall dieH4191. 26But you shall doH6213 nothingH3808H1697 to the girlH5291; thereH369 is noH369 sinH2399 in the girlH5291 worthy of deathH4194, for justH3152 as a manH376 risesH6965 againstH5921 his neighborH7453 and murdersH7523 him, soH3651 is thisH2088 caseH1697. 27WhenH3588 he foundH4672 her in the fieldH7704, the engagedH781 girlH5291 criedH6817 out, but thereH369 was noH369 one to saveH3467 her.
