  • 22:19 and fine him about 2 1/2 pounds of silver, which they are to give to the young woman's father, because this man has ruined the reputation of a virgin of Israel. She is to remain his wife, and he may never divorce her as long as he lives. 1
  • 22:24 you are to take both of them out to the gate of that town and stone them to death: the young woman because, though she was in the town, she did not cry for help, and the man because he dishonored another man's wife. In this way you will remove the evil from among you. 1
  • 22:25 But if the man comes upon the engaged young woman out in the countryside, and he overpowers her and rapes her, then only the man who did this must die. 1
  • 22:26 Do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no sin that deserves death. This case is like that of a man who attacks his neighbor and murders him. 1
