Devarim 22:12-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

12. Thou shalt make thee gedilim (fringes, tzitzis, twisted threads) upon the four corners of thy garment, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

13. If any ish take an isha, and go in unto her, and hate her,

14. And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up a shem rah (bad name) upon her, and say, I took this isha, and when I came to her, I found her with no betulim (proofs of virginity);

15. Then shall the av of the na'arah, and her em, take and bring forth the betulim (proofs of virginity) unto the zekenim of the town in the sha'arah (gate);

16. And the avi hana'arah shall say unto the zekenim, I gave my bat unto this ish as isha (wife) and he hateth her;

17. And, hinei, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy bat with betulim; and yet these are my bat's betulim. And they shall spread the simlah (clothing) before the zekenim of the town.

18. And the zekenim of that town shall take that ish and punish him;

19. And they shall fine him a hundred shekels of kesef, and give them unto the avi hana'arah, because he hath brought a shem rah (bad name) upon a betulat Yisroel; and she shall be his isha; he may not put her away all his yamim.

20. But if this thing be emes, and the betulim be not found for the na'arah;

21. Then they shall bring out the na'arah to the door of her bais avi, and the anashim of her town shall stone her with avanim that she die; because she hath committed an outrage in Yisroel, to play the whore in her bais avi; so shalt thou put away the rah from among you.

22. If an ish be found lying with an isha married to a husband then they shall both of them die, both the ish that lay with the isha, and the isha; so shalt thou put away the rah from Yisroel.
