Deuteronomy 22:20-30 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

20. But if this thing is true, and virginity hath not been found with the damsel;

21. then they shall bring out the damsel unto the entrance of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought infamy in Israel, committing fornication in her father's house; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.

22. If a man be found lying with a man's wife, they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; and thou shalt put away evil from Israel.

23. If a damsel, a virgin, be betrothed to some one, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her,

24. then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city, and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.

25. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her, then the man only that lay with her shall die;

26. and 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 neighbour, and murdereth him, so is this matter;

27. for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was no one to save her.

28. If a man find a damsel, a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found,

29. then 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.

30. A man shall not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
