Contextual Overview

¹³ "If a man takes a wife and goes in to her and decides he does not like her, ¹⁴ and says that she did sinful acts and puts her to shame before others and says, ‘I took this woman, but when I came near her, I found that she had been with another man,' ¹⁵ then the girl's father and mother should bring what is needed to prove she has not been with another man to the leaders of the city at the gate. ¹⁶ The girl's father will say to the leaders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man for a wife. But he turned against her. ¹⁷ He said she has done sinful acts, saying, "I found that your daughter has been with another man." But I brought what will prove that my daughter has not been with another man.' And they will spread the clothing in front of the leaders of the city. ¹⁸ Then the leaders of that city will take the man and punish him. ¹⁹ They will make him pay a hundred pieces of silver and give it to the girl's father, because he has put to shame the name of an Israelite girl who has not had a man. She will still be his wife. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives. ²⁰ But if it is true that the girl was found to have had another man, ²¹ then they will bring the girl to the door of her father's house. There the men of her city will kill her with stones, because she has done a foolish act in Israel by acting in her father's house like a woman who sells the use of her body. So you will get rid of the sin from among you. ²² "If a man is found lying with a married woman, then both of them must die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you will get rid of the sin from Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the elders of that city shall take the man, and chastise him. Not with words, but blows. Jarchi interprets it of beating, and so does the Talmud x; and both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it,

"shall beat him;''

that is, with the beating or scourging of forty stripes, save one.

x T. Bab. Cetubot, fol. 46. 1.
