Contextual Overview

¹³ If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her, ¹⁴ then sets shameful words to charge her, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity. ¹⁵ Then the girl's father and her mother shall take and bring the girl's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. ¹⁶ And the girl's father shall say to the elders, I have given my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her. ¹⁷ And, behold, he has laid shameful charges, saying, I have not found in your daughter the tokens of virginity. And yet see these tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. ¹⁸ And the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him. ¹⁹ And they shall fine him a hundred pieces of silver, and give them to the girl's father, because he has brought an evil name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. ²⁰ But if this thing is true that tokens of virginity have not been found for the girl, ²¹ then they shall bring out the girl to the door of her father's house. And the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; for she has done folly in Israel, to commit fornicationin her father's house. And you shall put awaythe evil from among you. ²² If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. And you shall put away 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.
