American Standard Version
"If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; "
— Deuteronomy 22:28, American Standard Version
“If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;”
“If a man find a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;”
“Suppose a man comes across a virgin who is not engaged and takes hold of her and sleeps with her and they are discovered.”
“If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment:”
“If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;”
“If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;”
But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die:
but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter;
for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.
A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
