DEUTERONOMY 22:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.”
You shall bring them both to the gate of that town and stone them to death: the young woman because she did not cry out for help in a town where she could have been rescued, and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife; so you shall purge the evil from your midst — the betrothed girl in the town who did not cry out is assumed to have consented; her silence constitutes complicity; both die for betraying the betrothal covenant.
