Deuteronomio 22:28 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 22:28

If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not
betrothed
That is, meets with one in a field, which is not espoused to a man; and the man is supposed to be an unmarried man, as appears by what follows:

and lay hold on her, and lie with her,
she yielding to it, and so is not expressive of a rape, as ( Deuteronomy 22:25 ) where a different word from this is there used; which signifies taking strong hold of her, and ravishing her by force; yet this, though owing to his first violent seizure of her, and so different from what was obtained by enticing words, professions of love, and promises of marriage, and the like, as in ( Exodus 22:16 Exodus 22:17 ) but not without her consent:

and they be found;
in the field together, and in the fact; or however there are witnesses of it, or they themselves have confessed, it, and perhaps betrayed by her pregnancy.

Deuteronomio 22:28 In-Context

26 y a la joven no harás nada; no hay en la joven pecado que merece la muerte; porque como cuando alguno se levanta contra su prójimo, y le quita la vida, así es esto

27 Porque él la halló en el campo; dio voces la moza desposada, y no hubo quien la salvara

28 Cuando alguno hallare una joven virgen, que no fuere desposada, y la tomare, y se acostare con ella, y fueren hallados

29 entonces el hombre que se acostó con ella dará al padre de la joven cincuenta ciclos de plata, y ella será su mujer, por cuanto la afligió; no la podrá despedir en todos sus días

30 No tomará alguno la mujer de su padre, ni descubrirá el regazo de su padre
