But if the man came across<n id="1" /> the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped<n id="2" /> her, then only the rapist<n id="3" /> must die.

<p class="bodytext">If two men<n id="1" /> get into a hand-to-hand fight, and the wife of one of them gets involved to help her husband against his attacker, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets<n id="1" /> her in the city and has sexual relations with<n id="2" /> her,

When she has left him<n id="1" /> she may go and become someone else&#8217;s wife.

&#8220;Not a single person<n id="1" /> of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!

Or who among you has planted a vineyard and not benefited from it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else benefit from it.

Or who among you<n id="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.&#8221;

If a false<n id="1" /> witness testifies against another person and accuses him of a crime,<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Suppose a man marries a woman, has sexual relations with her,<n id="1" /> and then rejects<n id="2" /> her,

The elders of that city must then seize the man and punish<n id="1" /> him.

If the person is poor you may not use what he gives you as security for a covering.<n id="1" />

I thought this was a good idea,<n id="1" /> so I sent<n id="2" /> twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.

Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child,<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> your God disciplines you.

You must not do like we are doing here today, with everyone<n id="1" /> doing what seems best to him,

Every one of you must give as you are able,<n id="1" /> according to the blessing of the <sc>Lordsc> your God that he has given you.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">If a person commits a sin punishable by death and is executed, and you hang the corpse<n id="1" /> on a tree,

The young woman&#8217;s father must say to the elders, &#8220;I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected<n id="1" /> her.

<p class="bodytext">Suppose a man comes across a virgin who is not engaged and overpowers and rapes<n id="1" /> her and they are discovered.

<p class="bodytext"><v id="(23:1)" /><n id="1" /> A man may not marry<n id="2" /> his father&#8217;s former<n id="3" /> wife and in this way dishonor his father.<n id="4" />p>

You must stand outside and the person to whom you are making the loan will bring out to you what he is offering as security.<n id="1" />
