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.
