Blood
stained sheets!
My
Hi-lite: Deuteronomy 22:20 But
if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity
be not found for the damsel:
Works
both ways! Read on.
Deuteronomy 22:13 If any
man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 And give occasions
of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took
this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 Then shall the father
of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens
of the damsel's virginity unto the elders
of the city in the gate:
The
bloody sheets!
16 And the damsel's father
shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and
he hateth her;
17 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.
18 And the elders of that
city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 And they shall amerce
him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the
damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel:
and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 But if this thing be
true, and the tokens of virginity be not found
for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring
out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city
shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly
in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil
away from among you.
22 If a man be found lying
with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both
the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away
evil from Israel.
23 If a damsel that is
a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city,
and lie with her;
24 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.
25 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:
26 But 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 neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is
this matter:
27 For he found her in
the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28 If a man find a damsel
that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie
with her, and they be found;
29 Then 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.
30 A man shall not take
his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
