申命记 22:24

你們就要把他們二人帶到當地的城門口,用石頭打死他們。那少女該死,是因為她雖在城裡,卻沒有呼叫;那男人該死,是因為他玷污了鄰舍的妻子;這樣,你就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

Contextual Overview

13 If a man marries a girl and has sexual relations with her but then decides he does not like her, 14 he might talk badly about her and give her a bad name. He might say, "I married this woman, but when I had sexual relations with her, I did not find that she was a virgin." 15 Then the girl's parents must bring proof that she was a virgin to the elders at the city gate. 16 The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, but now he does not want her. 17 This man has told lies about my daughter. He has said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin,' but here is the proof that my daughter was a virgin." Then her parents are to show the sheet to the elders of the city, 18 and the elders must take the man and punish him. 19 They must make him pay about two and one-half pounds of silver to the girl's father, because the man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. The girl will continue to be the man's wife, and he may not divorce her as long as he lives. 20 But if the things the husband said about his wife are true, and there is no proof that she was a virgin, 21 the girl must be brought to the door of her father's house. Then the men of the town must put her to death by throwing stones at her. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by having sexual relations before she was married. You must get rid of the evil among you. 22 If a man is found having sexual relations with another man's wife, both the woman and the man who had sexual relations with her must die. Get rid of this evil from Israel.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

and ye shall stone: In these laws, the betrothed damsel was considered as the wife of the man to whom she was engaged, though they had not come together; and therefore the crime was adjudged adultery. But a charitable supposition is admitted in the damsel's favour, in case she was found in a solitary place.

he hath humbled: Deuteronomy 21:14, Genesis 29:21, Matthew 1:20, Matthew 1:24

so thou shalt put: Deuteronomy 22:21, Deuteronomy 22:22, Deuteronomy 22:24, Deuteronomy 13:5, 1 Corinthians 5:2, 1 Corinthians 5:13

Reciprocal: Genesis 34:2 - defiled her Leviticus 19:20 - she shall be scourged Deuteronomy 17:5 - stone them Deuteronomy 19:19 - so shalt Deuteronomy 21:21 - so shalt thou Deuteronomy 22:29 - because he hath humbled Judges 5:11 - go down Judges 20:5 - forced Judges 20:13 - put away 1 Kings 21:13 - they carried him Ezekiel 16:41 - and execute Matthew 1:19 - her husband

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of the city,.... Where the fact was committed; the Targum of Jonathan is,

"to the gate of the court of judicature, which is in that city:''

and ye shall stone them with stones, that they die; a man that lay with a married woman, he and she were to be strangled; but this sort of adulterers and adulteresses were to be stoned, and it is thought that of this sort was the woman spoken of in John 8:3,

the damsel because she cried not, being in the city, and the man because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; as she was by espousal, by contract, by promise, and so was guilty of adultery, which was punishable with death:

so thou shall put away evil from among you; see Deuteronomy 22:21.
