Deuteronomy 22:20-24
20 “But if this ▼▼Lit matter
,
bcharge is true, and they did not find the girl to have evidence of virginity, 21then they shall bring the girl out to the doorway of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her ▼▼Lit with stones so that she dies
to death, because she has dcommitted a disgraceful sin in Israel by playing the prostitute in her father’s house; so eyou shall eliminate the evil from among you. 22 “ fIf a man is found sleeping with a married woman, then both of them shall die, the man who slept with the woman, and the woman; so you shall eliminate the evil from Israel.
23 “ gIf there is a girl who is a virgin ▼
▼A betrothed couple was considered legally married, but did not yet live together
betrothed to a man, and another man finds her in the city and sleeps with her, 24then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them ▼▼Lit with stones so that they die
to death: the girl, because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you shall eliminate the evil from among you.
