13 “If a man takes a woman and ⌊he has sex with her⌋,t but he then ⌊dislikes her⌋,u 14 and ⌊he accuses her falsely⌋,v and ⌊he defames her⌋,w and he says ‘This woman I took and I lay with her and ⌊I discovered that she was not a virgin⌋,’x 15 then in defense the father of the young woman shall take, along with her mother, and together they must bring out the evidence of the virginity of the young woman to display it to the elders of the city ⌊at the city gate⌋.y 16 And then the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as wife, but he now ⌊dislikes⌋z her, 17 and now look ⌊he has accused her falsely⌋,a saying, “I did not find ⌊your daughter a virgin⌋,”b but here is evidence of the virginity of my daughter’; and they shall spread the cloth out ⌊before⌋c the elders of the city. 18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man, and they shall discipline him. 19 Then they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and they shall give them to the father of the young woman, for ⌊he defamed an Israelite young woman⌋,d and ⌊she shall become his wife⌋;e he will not be allowed ⌊to divorce her⌋f all his days.

20 “But if ⌊this charge⌋g was true, ⌊and the signs of virginity were not found⌋h for the young woman, 21 and then they shall bring out the young woman to the doorway of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die, because she did a disgraceful thing in Israel ⌊by playing the harlot⌋i in the house of her father, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.

22 “If a man is found lying ⌊with a married woman⌋,j then they shall both die; ⌊both of them⌋,k the man who lay with the woman and the woman also, so you shall purge the evil from Israel.

23 “If it happens that a young woman, a virgin, is engaged to a man, and a man finds her in the town and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring out ⌊both of them⌋l to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones so that they shall die, the young woman because she did not cry out in the town, and the man becausem he violated his neighbor’s wife; and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.

25 “But if the man finds the young engaged woman in the field and the man overpowers her and ⌊he has sex with her⌋,n then the man onlyo must die who layp with her. 26 But you shall not do anythingq to the young woman, for there is not reckoned againstr the young woman ⌊a sin deserving death⌋;s ⌊it is similar to when⌋t a man rises up against his neighbor and murders him, ⌊a fellow human being⌋,u just so is this ⌊case⌋,v 27 for he found her in the field, the engaged young woman cried out, but there was now rescuer ⌊to help her⌋.x

28 “If a man finds a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, and he seizes her and ⌊he has sex with her⌋y and they are caught, 29 then ⌊the man who lay with her⌋z shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become ⌊his wife⌋a ⌊because⌋b he violated her, and he is not allowed to divorce her ⌊during his lifetime⌋.c 30d A man may not take the wife of his father, and so ⌊he may not dishonor his father⌋.e
