22:16 Her father will say to them, "I gave my daughter to this man in marriage, and now he doesn't want her.

22:17 He has made false charges against her, saying that she was not a virgin when he married her. But here is the proof that my daughter was a virgin; look at the bloodstains on the wedding sheet!'

22:18 Then the town leaders are to take the husband and beat him.

22:19 They are also to fine him a hundred pieces of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because the man has brought disgrace on an Israelite woman. Moreover, she will continue to be his wife, and he can never divorce her as long as he lives.

22:20 "But if the charge is true and there is no proof that she was a virgin,

22:21 then they are to take her out to the entrance of her father's house, where the men of her city are to stone her to death.

22:25 "Suppose a man out in the countryside rapes a young woman who is engaged to someone else. Then only the man is to be put to death;

22:26 nothing is to be done to the woman, because she has not committed a sin worthy of death. This case is the same as when one man attacks another man and murders him.

22:27 The man raped the engaged woman in the countryside, and although she cried for help, there was no one to help her.

22:28 "Suppose a man is caught raping a young woman who is not engaged.

23:12 "You are to have a place outside the camp where you can go when you need to relieve yourselves.

23:13 Carry a stick as part of your equipment, so that when you have a bowel movement you can dig a hole and cover it up.

25:17 "Remember what the Amalekites did to you as you were coming from Egypt.

25:18 They had no fear of God, and so they attacked you from the rear when you were tired and exhausted, and killed all who were straggling behind.

25:19 So then, when the Lord your God has given you the land and made you safe from all your enemies who live around you, be sure to kill all the Amalekites, so that no one will remember them any longer. Do not forget!
