Deuteronomy 22:23

Compare all

21 then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with ^astones, because she has ^bdone a disgraceful thing in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house. ^cSo you shall put away the evil from among you.

22 ^a“If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them shall die—the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall put away the evil from Israel.

23 “If a young woman who is a virgin is ^abetrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her,

24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he ^ahumbled his neighbor’s wife; ^bso you shall put away the evil from among you.

25 “But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the countryside, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.

26 But you shall do nothing to the young woman; there is in the young woman no sin deserving of death, for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter.

27 For he found her in the countryside, and the betrothed young woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.

28 ^a“If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are found out,

29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman’s father ^afifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife ^bbecause he has humbled her; he shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days.
