"The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;"
— Deuteronomy 22:18, World English Bible
“And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;”
“And 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 young lady, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the young lady's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;
and the young lady's father shall tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;
and behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, 'I didn't find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;' and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity." They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;
and they shall fine him one hundred [shekels] of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has brought up an evil name on 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, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady;
then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
