Deuteronomy 22:17-21

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.
