Contextual Overview

¹³ When a man taketh a wife, - and goeth in unto her and hateth her; ¹⁴ and raiseth against her occasions of speech, and bringeth upon her an evil name, and saith - This woman, I took, and approached her, and found not that she had the tokens of virginity, ¹⁵ then shall the father of the damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens of the virginity of the damsel, unto the elders of the city, in the gate; ¹⁶ and the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, - My daughter, gave I unto this man to wife and he hated her; ¹⁷ and lo! he, hath raised occasions of speech, saying - I found not that thy daughter had the tokens of virginity and yet, these, are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter. And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city. ¹⁸ Then shall the elders of that city take the man, and chastise him; ¹⁹ and fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall remain 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 with the damsel, ²¹ then shall they bring forth the damsel into the entrance of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die, because she hath wrought wickedness in Israel, by committing unchastity in her father's house, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst. ²² When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then shall, both, of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of 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.
