DEUTERONOMY 22:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:”
But if the man meets the engaged woman in the open country, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die — the countryside context makes the girl's lack of cry understandable (no rescue possible); the forced rape (tafsenu) makes her blameless, and only the rapist dies.
