Deuteronomy 22:23-29
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.
28If a manH376 findH4672 a damselH5291 that is a virginH1330, which is not betrothedH781, and lay holdH8610 on her, and lieH7901 with her, and they be foundH4672; 29Then the manH376 that layH7901 with her shall giveH5414 unto the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1 fiftyH2572 shekels of silverH3701, and she shall be his wifeH802; because he hath humbledH6031 her, he mayH3201 not put her awayH7971 all his daysH3117.
