THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Deuteronomy (Author Moses)

22:13If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

22:14And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

22:15Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

22:16And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

22:17And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

22:18And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

22:19And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
