23¶ If a damosell that is a virgin be betrothed vnto an husband, and a man find her in the citie, and lie with her: 24Then yee shall bring them both out vnto the gate of that citie, and yee shall stone them with stones that they die; the damosel, because shee cried not, being in the citie; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife: so thou shalt put away euill from among you. 25¶ But if a man find a betrothed damosel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her, shall die. 26But vnto the damosel thou shalt doe nothing, there is in the damosel no sinne worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, euen so is this matter. 27For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damosel cried, and there was none to saue her.
