* "
If a man is found lying with the wife of another man ,
both of them shall die ,
the man who lay with the woman ,
and the woman ;
so you shall purge the evil from Israel .
* "
If there is a betrothed virgin ,
and a man meets her in the city and lies with her ,
*
then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city ,
and you shall stone them to death with stones ,
the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city ,
and the man because he violated his neighbor '
s wife ;
so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you .
* "
But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed ,
and the man seizes her and lies with her ,
then only the man who lay with her shall die .
*
But to the young woman you shall do nothing ;
in the young woman there is no offense punishable by death ,
for this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor ;
*
because he came upon her in the open country ,
and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her .
