20 But and yf the thyng be of a suretie that the damsell be not founde a virgin: 21 They shall bryng the damsell to the doore of her fathers house, and the men of that citie shall stone her with stones to death, because she hath wrought folly in Israel to play the whore in her fathers house: And so thou shalt put euyl from among you. 22 If a man be founde lying with a woman that hath a wedded husband, they shall both dye, both the man that laye with the wyfe, and also the wyfe: and so thou shalt put away euill from Israel. 23 If a mayde be betrouthed vnto an husbande, and then a man finde her in the towne, and lye with her: 24 Ye shall bring them both out vnto the gates of the same citie, and shall stone them with stones to death: The damsell, because she cryed not beyng in the citie: And the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife: and thou shalt put away euyll from thee. 25 But if a man finde a betrouthed damsell in the fielde, and force her, and lye with her: then the man that lay with her, shall dye alone. 26 But vnto the damsell thou shalt do no harme, because there is in the damsell no cause of death: For as when a man ryseth against his neyghbour and slayeth hym: euen so is this matter. 27 For he found her in the fieldes: and the betrouthed damsell cryed, & there was no man to succour her. 28 If a man finde a mayde that is not betrouthed, and take her, and lye with her, and they be founde: 29 Then the man that lay with her, shall geue vnto the damsels father fiftie sicles of siluer, and she shall be his wyfe, because he hath humbled her: and he may not put her away all his dayes. 30 No man shall take his fathers wife, nor vnheale his fathers couering.
