Bible in Basic English
"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;"
— Deuteronomy 22:28, Bible in Basic English
“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:”
But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;
Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:
For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.
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;
Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.
A man may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.
