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

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,..... This law respects adultery, and is the same with that in

Leviticus 20:10

then they shall both of them die; with the strangling of a napkin, as the Targum of Jonathan, which is the death such persons were put to; and is always meant when death is simply spoken of, and it is not specified what death; Leviticus 20:10- ::

both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; they were both to die, and to die the same death:

so shalt thou put away evil from Israel; such that do it, as the above Targum; Leviticus 20:10- :.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 22:22. Shall both of them die — Thus we find that in the most ancient of all laws adultery was punished with death in both the parties.
