  • Deut 22:22-27 : 22 If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall put away evil from Israel. 23 If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24 Then 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. 25 But 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. 26 But 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. 27 For he found her in the field and the betrothed young woman cried out, and there was no one to save her.
