| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13“If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates her |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’ |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her; |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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 done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23“If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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 your midst. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, |

| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30“A man shall not take his father’s wife, so that he does not uncover his father’s nakedness. |
