Deuteronomy 22:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ This man has ·told lies about my daughter [charged my daughter with wanton behavior]. He has said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin,’ but here is the ·proof [evidence] that my daughter was a virgin.” Then her parents are to show the sheet [^Cblood-stained, showing she had been a virgin] to the elders of the city, ¹⁸ and the elders must take the man and ·punish [discipline] him. ¹⁹ They must make him pay about ·two and one-half pounds [^Lone hundred shekels] of silver to the girl’s father, because the man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. The girl will continue to be the man’s wife, and he may not divorce her as long as he lives.
