DEUTERONOMY 22:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.”
Saying, I did not find evidence of your daughter's virginity. But here is the evidence of my daughter's virginity. Then they shall spread out the cloth before the elders of the town — the physical display of the evidence (the cloth with blood stains) becomes the crucial testimony; the visible proof takes precedence over mere assertion.
