Deuteronomy:22:13-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If any man take a wife ,
and go in unto her ,
and hate her ,
*
And give occasions of speech against her ,
and bring up an evil name upon her ,
and say ,
I took this woman ,
and when I came to her ,
I found her not a maid :
*
Then shall the father of the damsel ,
and her mother ,
take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel '
s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate :
*
And the damsel '
s father shall say unto the elders ,
I gave my daughter unto this man to wife ,
and he hateth her ;
*
And ,
lo ,
he hath given occasions of speech against her ,
saying ,
I found not thy daughter a maid ;
and yet these are the tokens of my daughter '
s virginity .
And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city .
*
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ;
*
And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver ,
and give them unto the father of the damsel ,
because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel :
and she shall be his wife ;
he may not put her away all his days .
*
But if this thing be true ,
and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel :
*
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father '
s house ,
and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die :
because she hath wrought folly in Israel ,
to play the whore in her father '
s house :
so shalt thou put evil away from among you .
