Deuteronomy 22:25 in context

  1. 23If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
  2. 24then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them to death with stones; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
  3. 25But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die:
  4. 26but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter;
  5. 27for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
