Deuteronomy 22:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Then shall ye bring them both out unto the gates of the same city, and shall stone them with stones to death: the maid because she cried not, being in the city, and the man, because he hath [a]humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25 ¶ But if a man find a betrothed maid in the field and force her, and lie with her, then the man that lay with her, shall die alone:
26 And unto the maid thou shalt do nothing, because there is in the maid no [b]cause of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor and woundeth him to death, so [c]is this matter.
