Deuteronomy 22:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 22:22

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,
&c.]. 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 die the same death:

so shalt thou put away evil from Israel;
such that do it, as the above Targum; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 22:21).

Deuteronomy 22:22 In-Context

20 quod si verum est quod obicit et non est in puella inventa virginitas

21 eicient eam extra fores domus patris sui et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis eius et morietur quoniam fecit nefas in Israhel ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui et auferes malum de medio tui

22 si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius uterque morientur id est adulter et adultera et auferes malum de Israhel

23 si puellam virginem desponderit vir et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate et concubuerit cum illa

24 educes utrumque ad portam civitatis illius et lapidibus obruentur puella quia non clamavit cum esset in civitate vir quia humiliavit uxorem proximi sui et auferes malum de medio tui
