Deuteronomy 22:13-27
13IfH3588 anyH376 manH376 takeH3947 a wifeH802, and goH935 in unto herH413, and hateH8130 herH413,
14and layH7760 shamefulH5949 things to herH413 chargeH5921, and bringH3318 upH5921 an evilH7451 nameH8034 uponH5921 herH413, and sayH559, I tookH3947 this womanH802, and when I cameH3318 nigh to herH413, I foundH4672 notH3808 in herH413 the tokens of virginityH1331:
15then shall the fatherH1 of the damsel, and herH413 motherH517, takeH3947 and bringH3318 forthH3318 the tokens of the damsel’s virginityH1331 unto the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 in the gateH8179:
16and the damsel’s fatherH1 shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205, I gaveH5414 my daughterH1323 unto this manH376 to wifeH802, and he hateth herH413;
17and, loH2009, he hath laidH7760 shamefulH5949 things to herH559 chargeH1697, sayingH559, I foundH4672 notH3808 in thy daughterH1323 the tokens of virginityH1331; and yet theseH428 are the tokens of my daughter’sH1323 virginityH1331. And they shall spreadH6566 the garmentH8071 beforeH6440 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892.
18And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 the manH376 and chastiseH3256 him;
19and they shall amerce him in an hundredH3967 shekelsH3701 of silverH3701, and giveH5414 them unto the fatherH1 of the damsel, becauseH3588 he hath broughtH3318 upH5921 an evilH7451 nameH8034 uponH5921 a virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: and sheH3588 shall be his wifeH802; he may notH3808 putH5414 herH3605 awayH7971 allH3605 his daysH3117.
20But ifH518 this thingH1697 be trueH571, that the tokens of virginityH1331 were notH3808 foundH4672 in the damsel:
21then they shall bringH3318 outH3318 the damsel to the doorH6607 of herH413 father’sH1 houseH1004, and the menH376 of herH413 cityH5892 shall stoneH68 herH413 with stonesH68 that sheH3588 dieH4191: becauseH3588 sheH3588 hath wrought follyH5039 in IsraelH3478, to playH2181 the harlotH2181 in herH413 father’sH1 houseH1004: soH6213 shalt thou putH4191 awayH3318 the evilH7451 from the midstH7130 of thee.
22IfH3588 a manH376 be foundH4672 lyingH7901 with a womanH802 marriedH802 to an husbandH376, then they shall bothH8147 of them dieH4191, the manH376 that layH7901 with the womanH802, and the womanH802: soH1571 shalt thou putH4191 awayH5973 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.
23IfH3588 there be a damsel that is a virginH1330 betrothedH781 unto an husbandH376, and a manH376 findH4672 herH1961 in the cityH5892, and lieH7901 with herH1961;
24then ye shall bringH3318 them bothH8147 outH3318 unto the gateH8179 of that cityH5892, and ye shall stoneH68 them with stonesH68 that they dieH4191; the damsel, becauseH5921 sheH1931 criedH6817 notH3808, being in the cityH5892; and the manH376, becauseH5921 he hath humbled his neighbour’s wifeH802: soH3808 thou shalt putH4191 awayH3318 the evilH7451 from the midstH7130 of thee.
25But ifH518 the manH376 findH4672 the damsel that is betrothedH781 in the fieldH7704, and the manH376 force herH518, and lieH7901 with herH518; then the manH376 onlyH905 that layH7901 with herH518 shall dieH4191:
26but unto the damsel thou shalt doH6213 nothingH3808; there is in the damsel noH3808 sinH2399 worthy of deathH4194: for as when a manH376 riseth againstH5921 his neighbour, and slayeth him, evenH3588 soH3651 is this matterH1697:
27for he foundH4672 herH3588 in the fieldH7704; the betrothedH781 damsel criedH6817, and there was noneH369 to saveH3467 herH3588.
