Deuteronomy 22:20-24

20“But if this 1 2charge is true, and they did not find the girl to have evidence of virginity, 21then they shall bring the girl out to the doorway of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her 3to death, because she has 4committed a disgraceful sin in Israel by playing the prostitute in her father’s house; so 5you shall eliminate the evil from among you.

22“6If a man is found sleeping with a married woman, then both of them shall die, the man who slept with the woman, and the woman; so you shall eliminate the evil from Israel.

23“7If there is a girl who is a virgin 8betrothed to a man, and another man finds her in the city and sleeps with her, 24then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them 9to death: the girl, because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you shall eliminate the evil from among you.
