Old Testament

New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 22:23-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. If a girl who is a virgin is engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and has sexual relations with her,

24. then you must bring them both out to the gate of that city and you must stone them with stones until they die, the girl because she did not cry out even though in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. In this way you may purge the evil from among you.

25. But if a man finds an engaged girl in the field, and the man forces her and rapes her, then only the man that raped her shall die.

26. However, you are to do nothing to the girl. There is no sin worthy of death in the girl, for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this matter.

27. For he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her.

28. If a man finds a girl who is a virgin who is not engaged and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered,

29. then the man who lay with her must give fifty shekels of silver to the girl’s father, and she shall be his wife because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.

30. A man must not marry his father’s wife and in this way dishonor his father.
