Deuteronomy 20:7

Context
20:7 Or who among you 1  has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her.”

Deuteronomy 28:30

Context
28:30 You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape 2  her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.

1 tn Heb “Who [is] the man.”

2 tc For MT reading שָׁגַל (shagal, “ravish; violate”), the Syriac, Targum, and Vulgate presume the less violent שָׁכַב (shakhav, “lie with”). The unexpected counterpart to betrothal here favors the originality of the MT.
