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 [a]cause of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor and woundeth him to death, so [b]is this matter.

27 For he found her in the fields: the betrothed maid cried, and there was no man to succor her.
