Deuteronomy 22:22-27
22“1IfH3588 a manH376 is foundH4672 sleepingH7901 with a marriedH1166H1167 womanH802, then bothH1571H8147 of them shall dieH4191, the manH376 who sleptH7901 with the womanH802, and the womanH802; so you shall eliminateH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.
23“2IfH3588 there is a girlH5291 who is a virginH1330 3betrothedH781 to a manH376, and another manH376 findsH4672 her in the cityH5892 and sleepsH7901 with her, 24then you shall bringH3318 them bothH8147 outH3318 to the gateH8179 of that cityH5892 and you shall stoneH5619H68 them 4to deathH4191: the girlH5291, becauseH5921H1697H834 she did not cryH6817 outH6817 forH6817 helpH6817 though she was in the cityH5892, and the manH376, becauseH5921H1697H834 he has violatedH6031 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802. So you shall eliminateH1197 the evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.
25“But ifH518 the manH376 findsH4672 the girlH5291 who is betrothedH781 in the fieldH7704, and the manH376 seizesH2388 her and 5rapesH7901 her, then onlyH905 the manH376 whoH834 6rapedH7901 her shall dieH4191. 26And you are not to doH6213 anythingH1697 to the girlH5291; thereH369 isH369 noH369 sinH2399 in the girlH5291 worthy of deathH4194, for justH3512 asH3512 a manH376 risesH6965 againstH5921 his neighborH7453 and murdersH7523 him, 7soH3651 is thisH2088 caseH1697. 27WhenH3588 he foundH4672 her in the fieldH7704, the betrothedH781 girlH5291 8criedH6817 outH6817, but thereH369 wasH369 noH369 one to saveH3467 her.
