Deuteronomy 11 - 26
1
e "You shall therefore love the Lord your God and f keep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always.
2
And consider today (since I am not speaking to g your children who have not known or seen it), consider the discipline of the Lord your God, h his greatness, i his mighty hand and his outstretched arm,
3
j his signs and his deeds that he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land,
4
and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and to their chariots, k how he made the water of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord has destroyed them to this day,
5
and l what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place,
6
and m what he did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel.
7
For your eyes have seen n all the great work of the Lord that he did.
8
"You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you may o be strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess,
9
and p that you may live long in the land q that the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, r a land flowing with milk and honey.
10
For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it, like a garden of vegetables.
11
s But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,
12
a land that the Lord your God cares for. t The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
13
"And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, u to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14
v he will give the rain for your land in its season, w the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.
15
x And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and y you shall eat and be full.
16
Take care z lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and a serve other gods and worship them;
17
then b the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and he c will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and d you will perish quickly off the good land that the Lord is giving you.
18
e "You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and f you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
19
You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
20
g You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
21
h that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, i as long as the heavens are above the earth.
22
For if j you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and k holding fast to him,
23
then the Lord l will drive out all these nations before you, and you will m dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
24
n Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be o from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.
25
p No one shall be able to stand against you. The Lord your God will lay q the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, r as he promised you.
26
s "See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
27
t the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today,
28
and u the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, v to go after other gods that you have not known.
29
And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set w the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
30
Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the x Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside y the oak of Moreh?
31
For you are z to cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it,
32
you shall be careful a to do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today.
Deuteronomy 12
1
b "These are the statutes and rules that you shall be careful to do in the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, c all the days that you live on the earth.
2
d You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, e on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree.
3
You shall tear down their altars and dash in pieces f their pillars and burn their g Asherim with fire. You shall chop down the carved images of their gods and h destroy their name out of that place.
4
i You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way.
5
But you shall seek j the place that the Lord your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation there. There you shall go,
6
and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, k your tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the l firstborn of your herd and of your flock.
7
And m there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and n you shall rejoice, you and your households, in all that you undertake, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.
8
"You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, o everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes,
9
for you have not as yet come to p the rest and to the inheritance that the Lord your God is giving you.
10
But when q you go over the Jordan and live in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to inherit, r and when he gives you rest from all your enemies around, so that you live in safety,
11
then to j the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, k your tithes and the contribution that you present, and all your finest vow offerings that you vow to the Lord.
12
And n you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your male servants and your female servants, and the Levite that is within your towns, since s he has no portion or inheritance with you.
13
t Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings at any place that you see,
14
but at j the place that the Lord will choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I am commanding you.
15
"However, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, as much as you desire, u according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you. v The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and as of the deer.
16
w Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth like water.
17
You may not eat within your towns k the tithe of your grain or of your wine or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, or any of your vow offerings that you vow, or your freewill offerings or the contribution that you present,
18
but m you shall eat them before the Lord your God in j the place that the Lord your God will choose, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your towns. And n you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in all that you undertake.
19
x Take care that you do not neglect the Levite as long as you live in your land.
20
"When the Lord your God y enlarges your territory, z as he has promised you, and you say, 'I will eat meat,' because you crave meat, you may eat meat whenever you desire.
21
If a the place that the Lord your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, b then you may kill any of your herd or your flock, which the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your towns whenever you desire.
22
Just c as the gazelle or the deer is eaten, so you may eat of it. c The unclean and the clean alike may eat of it.
23
d Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, e for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
24
You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth like water.
25
You shall not eat it, f that all may go well with you and with your children after you, g when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.
26
But the h holy things that are due from you, and i your vow offerings, you shall take, and you shall go to a the place that the Lord will choose,
27
and j offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the Lord your God. The blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you may eat.
28
Be careful to obey all these words that I command you, f that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.
29
"When k the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
30
take care l that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? - that I also may do the same.'
31
m You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every n abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for o they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32
"Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. p You shall not add to it or take from it.
Deuteronomy 13
1
"If a prophet or q a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,
2
and r the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, 'Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve them,'
3
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God s is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4
You shall t walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and u hold fast to him.
5
But v that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. w So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
6
x "If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or y the wife you embrace or your friend z who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' a which neither you nor your fathers have known,
7
some b of the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other,
8
you shall c not yield to him or listen to him, nor d shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him.
9
But you shall kill him. e Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people.
10
f You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
11
And g all Israel shall hear and fear and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
12
"If you hear in one of your cities, which the Lord your God is giving you to dwell there,
13
that certain h worthless fellows have gone out among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which you have not known,
14
then you shall inquire and make search and ask i diligently. And behold, if it be true and certain that such an abomination has been done among you,
15
you shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, devoting it to destruction, all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
16
You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square and j burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. It shall be a k heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17
l None of the devoted things shall stick to your hand, m that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you, n as he swore to your fathers,
18
if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, o keeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 14
1
"You are p the sons of the Lord your God. q You shall not cut yourselves or make any r baldness on your foreheads for the dead.
2
For s you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3
t "You shall not eat any abomination.
4
u These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6
Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.
7
Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the v rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you.
8
And the pig, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and w their carcasses you shall not touch.
9
"Of all that are in the waters you may eat these: whatever has fins and scales you may eat.
10
And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.
11
"You may eat all clean birds.
12
But these are the ones that you shall not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
13
the kite, the falcon of any kind;
14
every raven of any kind;
15
the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind;

17

the stork, the heron of any kind; the hoopoe and the bat.
19
And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten.
20
All clean winged things you may eat.
21
x "You shall not eat anything that has died naturally. You may give it to the sojourner who is within your towns, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For y you are a people holy to the Lord your God. z "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
22
a "You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year.
23
And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, b you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, c and the firstborn of your herd and flock, d that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
24
And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because e the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there,
25
then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses
26
and spend the money for whatever you desire - oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And b you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household.
27
And you shall not neglect f the Levite who is within your towns, for g he has no portion or inheritance with you.
28
h "At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns.
29
And the Levite, because g he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that i the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.
Deuteronomy 15
1
"At the end of j every seven years you shall grant a release.
2
And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the Lord's release has been proclaimed.
3
k Of a foreigner you may exact it, but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.
4
l But there will be no poor among you; m for the Lord will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess -
5
n if only you will strictly obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandment that I command you today.
6
For the Lord your God will bless you, o as he promised you, and p you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and q you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
7
"If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, r you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother,
8
but s you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.
9
Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, 'The seventh year, the year of release is near,' and your t eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he u cry to the Lord against you, and v you be guilty of sin.
10
You shall give to him freely, and w your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because x for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.
11
For y there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, s 'You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.'
12
z "If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.

And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed.
14
You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. a As the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
15
b You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today.
16
But c if he says to you, 'I will not go out from you,' because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you,
17
then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave forever. And to your female slave you shall do the same.
18
It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for at half the cost of a hired servant he has served you six years. So the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.
19
d "All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and flock you shall dedicate to the Lord your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

h Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.

l And whoever will m not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
20
n But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
21
And if you say in your heart, 'How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?' -
22
o when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; n the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
Deuteronomy 19
1
"When p the Lord your God cuts off the nations whose land the Lord your God is giving you, and you dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses,
2
q you shall set apart three cities for yourselves in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.
3
You shall measure the distances and divide into three parts the area of the land that the Lord your God gives you as a possession, so that any manslayer can flee to them.
4
"This is the provision for r the manslayer, who by fleeing there may save his life. If anyone kills his neighbor unintentionally without having hated him in the past -
5
as when someone goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand swings the axe to cut down a tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies - he may flee to one of these cities and live,
6
lest s the avenger of blood in hot anger pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him fatally, though the man did not deserve to die, since he had not hated his neighbor in the past.
7
Therefore I command you, You shall set apart three cities.
8
t And if the Lord your God enlarges your territory, u as he has sworn to your fathers, and v gives you all the land that he promised to give to your fathers -
9
provided you are careful to keep all this commandment, which I command you today, by loving the Lord your God and by walking ever in his ways - w then you shall add three other cities to these three,
10
lest innocent blood be shed in your land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, and so the guilt of bloodshed be upon you.
11
"But if anyone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and attacks him x and strikes him fatally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities,
12
then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die.
13
y Your eye shall not pity him, z but you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that it may be well with you.
14
a "You shall not move your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old have set, in the inheritance that you will hold in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.
15
"A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. b Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established.
16
If c a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing,
17
then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the Lord, d before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.
18
The judges shall e inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely,
19
f then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
20
And the rest g shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you.
21
y Your eye shall not pity. h It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Deuteronomy 20
1
"When you go out to war against your enemies, and see i horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is j with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
2
And when you draw near to the battle, k the priest shall come forward and speak to the people
3
and shall say to them, 'Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them,
4
for the Lord your God is he who goes with you l to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.'
5
Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying, 'Is there any man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.
6
And is there any man who has planted a vineyard and has not m enjoyed its fruit? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man enjoy its fruit.
7
n And is there any man who has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.'
8
And the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, o 'Is there any man who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go back to his house, lest he make the heart of his fellows melt like his own.'
9
And when the officers have finished speaking to the people, then commanders shall be appointed at the head of the people.
10
"When you draw near to a city to fight against it, p offer terms of peace to it.
11
And if it responds to you peaceably and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you.
12
But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13
And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, q you shall put all its males to the sword,
14
r but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you s shall take as plunder for yourselves. And t you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you.
15
Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here.
16
But u in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes,
17
but v you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded,
18
that w they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices that they have done for their gods, and so you x sin against the Lord your God.
19
"When you besiege a city for a long time, making war against it in order to take it, y you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them. You may eat from them, but you shall not cut them down. Are the trees in the field human, that they should be besieged by you?
20
Only the trees that you know are not trees for food you may destroy and cut down, that you may build siegeworks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
Deuteronomy 21
1
"If in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess someone is found slain, lying in the open country, and it is not known who killed him,
2
then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure the distance to the surrounding cities.
3
And the elders of the city that is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer z that has never been worked and that has not pulled in a yoke.
4
And the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.
5
Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the Lord your God has chosen a them to minister to him and to bless in the name of the Lord, and b by their word every dispute and every assault shall be settled.
6
And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man c shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,
7
and they shall testify, 'Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it shed.
8
Accept atonement, O Lord, for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and d do not set the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel, so that their blood guilt be atoned for.'
9
So e you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.
10
"When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive,
11
and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife,

and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails.
13
And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and f lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
14
But if you no longer delight in her, you shall g let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you h treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her.
15
"If a man has two wives, i the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him children, and if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved,
16
then on the day when j he assigns his possessions as an inheritance to his sons, he may not treat the son of the loved as the firstborn in preference to the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn,
17
but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is k the firstfruits of his strength. l The right of the firstborn is his.
18
"If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them,
19

and they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.'
21
m Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. n So you shall purge the evil from your midst, o and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
22
"And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,

3
And you shall do the same with his donkey or with his garment, or with any lost thing of your brother's, which he loses and you find; you may not ignore it.
4
t You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way and ignore them. You shall help him to lift them up again.
5
"A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, u for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
6
"If you come across a bird's nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, v you shall not take the mother with the young.

And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, 'I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her;

and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, "I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity." And yet this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.' And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city.

22
e "If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. d So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor,

28
g "If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
