    27When her master got up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and went outside to start on his journey, there was the woman, his concubine, sprawled out on the doorstep of the house with her hands on the threshold.

    28He said to her,“Get up, let’s leave!” But there was no response. He put her on the donkey and went home.

    8He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl’s father said,“Get some energy. Wait until later in the day to leave!” So they ate a meal together.

Since the day is over, stay another night here and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and start your trip home.”

    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.

    25But if the man came across the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped her, then only the rapist must die.

    26You must not do anything to the young woman– she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person and murders him,

    27for the man met her in the field and the engaged woman cried out, but there was no one to rescue her.

    28Suppose a man comes across a virgin who is not engaged and takes hold of her and sleeps with her and they are discovered.

    29The man who has slept with her must pay her father fifty shekels of silver and she must become his wife. Because he has humiliated her, he may never divorce her as long as he lives.
