King James Version
"And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;"
— Deuteronomy 22:18, King James Version
“And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him; ”
“The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;”
“The elders of that city must then seize the man and punish him.”
“And the ancients of that city shall take that man, and beat him,”
“Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;”
“And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;”
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
