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.
