* If any man take a wife , and go in unto her , and hate her , * And he lay an accusation against her , and spread abroad an evil name upon her , and say , This woman I took , and when I came near to her , I found no tokens of virginity in her : * 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 , to the gate . * And the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders , My daughter I gave unto this man for wife ; but he hath conceived hatred toward her ; * And , lo , he hath laid an accusation , saying , I have found no tokens of virginity in thy daughter ; 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 a hundred shekels of silver , and give them unto the father of the damsel ; because he hath spread abroad an evil name upon a virgin of Israel ; and she shall remain his wife ; he shall not be at liberty to put her away all his days . * But if this thing was true , there have not been found tokens of virginity in the damsel : * Then shall they lead 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 a disgraceful deed in Israel , to commit incest in her father ’s house ; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee .
