Deuteronomy 22:20-30
20But if this thingH1697 shall 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 may dieH4191: because she hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478, to play the harlotH2181 in her father’sH1 houseH1004: so shalt thou removeH1197 evilH7451 from amongH7130 you. 22If a manH376 shall 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 removeH1197 evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. 23If a damselH5291 that is a virginH1330 shall be betrothedH781 to an husbandH376, and a manH376 shall findH4672 her in the cityH5892, and lieH7901 with her; 24Then ye shall bringH3318 them bothH8147 out to the gateH8179 of that cityH5892, and ye shall stoneH5619 them with stonesH68 that they may dieH4191; the damselH5291, becauseH834H1697 she criedH6817 not, being in the cityH5892; and the manH376, becauseH834H1697 he hath humbledH6031 his neighbour’sH7453 wifeH802: so thou shalt removeH1197 evilH7451 from amongH7130 you. 25But if a manH376 shall findH4672 a betrothedH781 damselH5291 in the fieldH7704, and the manH376 shall forceH2388 her, and lieH7901 with her: then the manH376 only that layH7901 with her shall dieH4191:1 26But to 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 slayethH7523H5315 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 shall findH4672 a damselH5291 that is a virginH1330, who 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 to 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. 30A manH376 shall not takeH3947 his father’sH1 wifeH802, nor uncoverH1540 his father’sH1 skirtH3671.
