You must not do anything to the young woman &#8211; she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person<n id="1" /> and murders him,

<p class="bodytext">At the end of the twelve months that were required for the women,<n id="1" /> when the turn of each young woman arrived to go to King Ahasuerus &#8211; for in this way they had to fulfill their time of cosmetic treatment: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfume and various ointments used by women &#8211;

Now the young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin; no man had ever had sexual relations with her.<n id="1" /> She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up.

<p class="bodytext">Then Rebekah and her female servants mounted the camels and rode away with<n id="1" /> the man. So Abraham&#8217;s servant<n id="2" /> took Rebekah and left.p>

You can make the bride price and the gift I must bring very expensive,<n id="1" /> and I&#8217;ll give<n id="2" /> whatever you ask<n id="3" /> of me. Just give me the young woman as my wife!&#8221;p>

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.

His father-in-law, the girl&#8217;s father, persuaded him to stay with him for three days, and they ate and drank together, and spent the night there.

On the fourth day they woke up early and the Levite got ready to leave.<n id="1" /> But the girl&#8217;s father said to his son-in-law, &#8220;Have a bite to eat for some energy,<n id="2" /> then you can go.&#8221;

So the two of them sat down and had a meal together.<n id="1" /> Then the girl&#8217;s father said to the man, &#8220;Why not stay another night and have a good time!&#8221;<n id="2" />

He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl&#8217;s father said, &#8220;Get some energy.<n id="1" /> Wait until later in the day to leave!&#8221;<n id="2" /> So they ate a meal together.

The servant in charge of the harvesters replied, &#8220;She&#8217;s the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the region of Moab.

Naomi then said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, &#8220;It is good, my daughter, that you should go out to work with his female servants.<n id="1" /> That way you will not be harmed, which could happen in another field.&#8221;<n id="2" />

So Ruth<n id="1" /> worked beside<n id="2" /> Boaz&#8217;s female servants, gathering grain until the end of the barley harvest as well as the wheat harvest.<n id="3" /> After that she stayed home with her mother-in-law.<n id="4" />p>

Now Boaz, with whose female servants you worked, is our close relative.<n id="1" /> Look, tonight he is winnowing barley at the threshing floor.<n id="2" />

May your family<n id="1" /> become like the family of Perez<n id="2" /> &#8211; whom Tamar bore to Judah &#8211; through the descendants<n id="3" /> the <sc>Lordsc> gives you by this young woman.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">As they were going up the ascent to the town, they met some girls coming out to draw water. They said to them, &#8220;Is this where the seer is?&#8221;

Then Abigail quickly went and mounted her donkey, with five of her female servants accompanying her.<n id="1" /> She followed David&#8217;s messengers and became his wife.p>

So they looked through all Israel<n id="1" /> for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

Let the young woman whom the king finds most attractive<n id="1" /> become queen in place of Vashti.&#8221; This seemed like a good idea to the king,<n id="2" /> so he acted accordingly.p>

the woman would go to the king in the following way: Whatever she asked for would be provided for her to take with her from the harem to the royal palace.
