Deuteronomy 20:7

20:7 Or who among you ¹  has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her.”

Deuteronomy 22:25

22:25 But if the man came across ²  the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped ³  her, then only the rapist ⁴  must die.

Deuteronomy 28:30

28:30 You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape ⁵  her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.

¹ tn Heb “Who [is] the man.”

² tn Heb “found,” also in vv. 27, 28.

³ tn Heb “lay with” here refers to a forced sexual relationship, as the accompanying verb “seized” (חָזַק, khazaq) makes clear.

⁴ tn Heb “the man who lay with her, only him.”

³ tc For MT reading שָׁגַל (shagal, “ravish; violate”), the Syriac, Targum, and Vulgate presume the less violent שָׁכַב (shakhav, “lie with”). The unexpected counterpart to betrothal here favors the originality of the MT.
