Laws on Morality

Deu 22:13

Deu 22:13If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

Deu 22:14

Deu 22:14and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity;

Deu 22:15

Deu 22:15then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate;

Deu 22:16

Deu 22:16and the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

Deu 22:17

Deu 22:17and, lo, he hath laid shameful things to her charge, saying, I found not in thy daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.

Deu 22:18

Deu 22:18And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;

Deu 22:19

Deu 22:19and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

Deu 22:20

Deu 22:20But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel;

Deu 22:21

Deu 22:21then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

Deu 22:22

Deu 22:22If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away the evil from Israel.

Deu 22:23

Deu 22:23If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

Deu 22:24

Deu 22:24then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them to death with stones; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.

Deu 22:25

Deu 22:25But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die:

Deu 22:26

Deu 22:26but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter;

Deu 22:27

Deu 22:27for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

Deu 22:28

Deu 22:28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

Deu 22:29

Deu 22:29then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.

Deu 22:30

Deu 22:30A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
