Contextual Overview

¹³Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her, ¹⁴and then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin." ¹⁵Then the young woman's father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate ¹⁶and say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her. ¹⁷And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, 'I discovered your daughter was not a virgin.' But here is the proof of her virginity." And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders. ¹⁸Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.¹⁹They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. ²⁰If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman's virginity is found, ²¹she shall be brought to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you. ²²If a man is found lying with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the elders of that city shall take the man, and chastise him. Not with words, but blows. Jarchi interprets it of beating, and so does the Talmud x; and both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it,

"shall beat him;''

that is, with the beating or scourging of forty stripes, save one.

x T. Bab. Cetubot, fol. 46. 1.
