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.
