Deuteronomy 22:19

Context
22:19 They will fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, for the man who made the accusation 1  ruined the reputation 2  of an Israelite virgin. She will then become his wife and he may never divorce her as long as he lives.

Deuteronomy 22:21

Context
22:21 the men of her city must bring the young woman to the door of her father’s house and stone her to death, for she has done a disgraceful thing 3  in Israel by behaving like a prostitute while living in her father’s house. In this way you will purge 4  evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22:24

Context
22:24 you must bring the two of them to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry out though in the city and the man because he violated 5  his neighbor’s fiancĂ©e; 6  in this way you will purge 7  evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 29:18

Context
29:18 Beware that the heart of no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you turns away from the Lord our God today to pursue and serve the gods of those nations; beware that there is among you no root producing poisonous and bitter fruit. 8 

1 tn Heb “for he”; the referent (the man who made the accusation) has been specified in the translation to avoid confusion with the young woman’s father, the last-mentioned male.

2 tn Heb “brought forth a bad name.”

3 tn The Hebrew term נְבָלָה (nÿvalah) means more than just something stupid. It refers to a moral lapse so serious as to jeopardize the whole covenant community (cf. Gen 34:7; Judg 19:23; 20:6, 10; Jer 29:23). See C. Pan, NIDOTTE 3:11-13. Cf. NAB “she committed a crime against Israel.”

4 tn Heb “burn.” See note on Deut 21:21.

5 tn Heb “humbled.”

6 tn Heb “wife.”

7 tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

8 tn Heb “yielding fruit poisonous and wormwood.” The Hebrew noun לַעֲנָה (laanah) literally means “wormwood” (so KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB), but is used figuratively for anything extremely bitter, thus here “fruit poisonous and bitter.”
