Deuteronomy 22:28 in context

  1. 26but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter;
  2. 27for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
  3. 28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
  4. 29then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.
  5. 30A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
