Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
And the man force her - A rape also, by these ancient institutions, was punished with death, because a woman' s honor was considered equally as precious as her life; therefore the same punishment was inflicted on the ravisher as upon the murderer. This offense is considered in the same point of view in the British laws, and by them also it is punished with death.
