Deuteronomy 22:22-24
New English Translation
22 If a man is discovered in bed with[a] a married woman,[b] both the man lying in bed with the woman and the woman herself must die; in this way you will purge[c] the evil from Israel.
23 If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets[d] her in the city and goes to bed with[e] her, 24 you must bring the two of them to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry out though in the city and the man because he violated[f] his neighbor’s fiancée;[g] in this way you will purge[h] evil from among you.
