17Moreover, he has raised accusations of impropriety by saying,‘I discovered your daughter was not a virgin,’ but this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity!” The cloth must then be spread out before the city’s elders.

23If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets her in the city and goes to bed with her,
24you must bring the two of them to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry out though in the city and the man because he violated his neighbor’s fiancée; in this way you will purge evil from among you.
