Laws on Morality

Deu 22:13

Deu 22:13"If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and then spurns her,

Deu 22:14

Deu 22:14and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings an evil name upon her, saying, 'I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity,'

Deu 22:15

Deu 22:15then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the tokens of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;

Deu 22:16

Deu 22:16and the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, 'I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he spurns her;

Deu 22:17

Deu 22:17and lo, he has made shameful charges against her, saying, "I did not find in your 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 22:18Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him;

Deu 22:19

Deu 22:19and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought 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 the thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young woman,

Deu 22:21

Deu 22:21then 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 stones, because she has wrought folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her father's house; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.

Deu 22:22

Deu 22:22"If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall purge the evil from Israel.

Deu 22:23

Deu 22:23"If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her,

Deu 22:24

Deu 22:24then 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 for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.

Deu 22:25

Deu 22:25"But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.

Deu 22:26

Deu 22:26But to the young woman you shall do nothing; in the young woman there is no offense punishable by death, for this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor;

Deu 22:27

Deu 22:27because he came upon her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.

Deu 22:28

Deu 22:28"If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,

Deu 22:29

Deu 22:29then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her; he may not put her away all his days.

Deu 22:30
