申命記 22:13-25 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:22

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; See Gill on Leviticus 20:10 , both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman ; they were both to die, and to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:23

If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband ,.... But not married, not as yet brought home to her husband's house, and the marriage consummated; for the Jews distinguish between being betrothed or espoused, and married; and generally there was some time between the one and the other. And a wife was obtained in this way by three things; by money, which was the most usual; and by writing, which was to be done before witnesses, and with her consent; and by copulation, which,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:24

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of the city ,.... Where the fact was committed; the Targum of Jonathan is,"to the gate of the court of judicature, which is in that city:" and ye shall stone them with stones, that they die ; a man that lay with a married woman, he and she were to be strangled; but this sort of adulterers and adulteresses were to be stoned, and it is thought that of this sort was the woman spoken of in John 8:3 , the damsel because she cried not, being... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:25

But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field ,.... Alone, and where she might cry out, and none hear, nor were any to help her: and a man force her, and lie with her ; or "take fast and strong hold on her" F2 והחזיק בה "et apprehenderit (in) eam", Pagninus, Montanus; "et apprehendens eam", Piscator. ; so that she is not able to get out of his hands, and make her escape, he being stronger than she, and so commits a rape upon her: then the man only that lay with her shall... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:15

Tokens of the damsel's virginity - This was a perfectly possible case in all places where girls were married at ten, twelve, and fourteen years of age, which is frequent in the East. I have known several instances of persons having had two or three children at separate births before they were fourteen years of age. Such tokens, therefore, as the text speaks of, must be infallibly exhibited by females so very young on the consummation of their marriage. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:17

They shall spread the cloth, etc. - A usage of this kind argues a roughness of manners which would ill comport with the refinement of European ideas on so delicate a subject. Attempts have been made to show that the law here is to be understood metaphorically; but they so perfectly fail to establish any thing like probability, that it would be wasting my own and my reader's time to detail them. A custom similar to that above is observed among the Mohammedans to the present day. read more

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. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:25

And the man force her - A rape also, by these ancient institutions, was punished with death, because a woman's honor was considered equally as precious as her life; therefore the same punishment was inflicted on the ravisher as upon the murderer. This offense is considered in the same point of view in the British laws, and by them also it is punished with death. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:13

Verse 13 13.If any man take a wife. This passage also tends to the exaltation of chastity. God provides against both cases, lest a husband should unjustly bring reproach upon a chaste and innocent young woman, and lest a young woman, having been defiled, should escape punishment, if she pretended to be a virgin. A third object is also to be remarked, viz., that parents were thus admonished to be more careful in watching over their children. This is, indeed, an act of gross brutality, that a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:18

Verse 18 18.And the elders of that city shall take that man. Calumny in this case received a threefold punishment; first, that he, who had invented the false accusation, should be beaten with stripes; secondly, that he should pay an hundred pieces of silver to the father of the girl; thirdly, that he should never be allowed to put her away; and tie reason is given, “because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel.” God here shows Himself to be the protector of virgins, that... read more
