Deuteronomy 22:24 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 22:24

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of the city,
&c.] 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 8:3-5 ) ,

the damsel because she cried not, being in the city, and the man
because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife;
as she was by espousal, by contract, by promise, and so was guilty of adultery, which was punishable with death:

so thou shall put away evil from among you;
see ( Deuteronomy 22:21 Deuteronomy 22:22 ) .

Deuteronomy 22:24 In-Context

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
25 sin autem in agro reppererit vir puellam quae desponsata est et adprehendens concubuerit cum illa ipse morietur solus
26 puella nihil patietur nec est rea mortis quoniam sicut latro consurgit contra fratrem suum et occidit animam eius ita et puella perpessa est
