23If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her,
24Then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones so that they die; the young woman because she did not cry out, being in the city; and the man because he has humbled his neighbor's wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you.
25But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.
26But to the young woman you shall do nothing; there is in the young woman no sin worthy of death; for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter.
27For he found her in the field and the betrothed young woman cried out, and there was no one to save her.
28If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
29Then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
