Deuteronomy 22:20-30
20“But ifH518 thisH2088 12chargeH1697 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 3to deathH4191 becauseH3588 she has 4committedH6213 an actH5039 of follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 by playingH2181 the harlotH2181 in her father’sH1 houseH1004; thus 5you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.
22“6IfH3588 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“7IfH3588 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 8to 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.
28“9IfH3588 a manH376 findsH4672 a girlH5291 who is a virginH1330, whoH834 is not engagedH781, and seizesH8610 her and liesH7901 with her and they are discoveredH4672, 29then the manH376 who layH7901 with her shall giveH5414 to the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 fiftyH2572 shekels of silverH3701, and she shall becomeH1961 his wifeH802 becauseH8478H834 he has violatedH6031 her; he cannotH3201H3808 divorceH7971 her allH3605 his daysH3117.
30“1011A manH376 shall not takeH3947 his father’sH1 wifeH802 so that he will not uncoverH1540 his father’sH1 skirtH3671.
