Deuteronomy 22:17-21
17and beholdH2009, he has chargedH7760 her with shamefulH5949 deedsH1697, sayingH559, “I did not findH4672 your daughterH1323 a virginH1331.” But 1thisH428 is the evidenceH1331 of my daughter’sH1323 virginityH1331.’ And they shall spreadH6566 the garmentH8071 beforeH6440 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892. 18So 2the 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 3publiclyH3318 defamedH8034H7451H3318 a virginH1330 of IsraelH3478. And she shall remainH1961 his wifeH802; he cannotH3201H3808 4divorceH7971 her allH3605 his daysH3117.
20“But ifH518 thisH2088 56chargeH1697 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 7to deathH4191 becauseH3588 she has 8committedH6213 an actH5039 of follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 by playingH2181 the harlotH2181 in her father’sH1 houseH1004; thus 9you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.
