Deuteronomy 22:13-27
13If any manH376 takeH3947 a wifeH802, and go inH935 unto her, and hateH8130 her, 14And giveH7760 occasionsH5949 of speechH1697 against her, and bring upH3318 an evilH7451 nameH8034 upon her, and sayH559, I tookH3947 this womanH802, and when I cameH7126 to her, I foundH4672 her not a maidH1331: 15Then shall the fatherH1 of the damselH5291, and her motherH517, takeH3947 and bring forthH3318 the tokens of the damsel’sH5291 virginityH1331 unto the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 in the gateH8179: 16And the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1 shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205, I gaveH5414 my daughterH1323 unto this manH376 to wifeH802, and he hatethH8130 her; 17And, lo, he hath givenH7760 occasionsH5949 of speechH1697 against her, sayingH559, I foundH4672 not thy daughterH1323 a maidH1331; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’sH1323 virginityH1331. And they shall spreadH6566 the clothH8071 beforeH6440 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892. 18And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 that manH376 and chastiseH3256 him; 19And they shall amerceH6064 him in an hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and giveH5414 them unto the fatherH1 of the damselH5291, because he hath brought upH3318 an evilH7451 nameH8034 upon a virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: and she shall be his wifeH802; he mayH3201 not put her awayH7971 all his daysH3117. 20But if this thingH1697 be trueH571, and the tokens of virginityH1331 be not foundH4672 for the damselH5291: 21Then they shall bring outH3318 the damselH5291 to the doorH6607 of her father’sH1 houseH1004, and the menH582 of her cityH5892 shall stoneH5619 her with stonesH68 that she dieH4191: because she hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478, to play the whoreH2181 in her father’sH1 houseH1004: so shalt thou putH1197 evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
22If a manH376 be foundH4672 lyingH7901 with a womanH802 marriedH1166 to an husbandH1167, then they shall both of themH8147 dieH4191, both the manH376 that layH7901 with the womanH802, and the womanH802: so shalt thou put awayH1197 evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.
23If a damselH5291 that is a virginH1330 be betrothedH781 unto an husbandH376, and a manH376 findH4672 her in the cityH5892, and lieH7901 with her; 24Then ye shall bringH3318 them bothH8147 out unto the gateH8179 of that cityH5892, and ye shall stoneH5619 them with stonesH68 that they dieH4191; the damselH5291, becauseH1697H834 she criedH6817 not, being in the cityH5892; and the manH376, becauseH1697H834 he hath humbledH6031 his neighbour’sH7453 wifeH802: so thou shalt put awayH1197 evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.
25But if a manH376 findH4672 a betrothedH781 damselH5291 in the fieldH7704, and the manH376 forceH2388 her, and lieH7901 with her: then the manH376 only that layH7901 with her shall dieH4191:1 26But unto the damselH5291 thou shalt doH6213 nothingH1697; there is in the damselH5291 no sinH2399 worthy of deathH4194: for as when a manH376 risethH6965 against his neighbourH7453, and slayethH5315H7523 him, even so is this matterH1697: 27For he foundH4672 her in the fieldH7704, and the betrothedH781 damselH5291 criedH6817, and there was none to saveH3467 her.
