^16 (A)“If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.

^28 (A)“If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are found out, ²⁹ then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman’s father ^(B)fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife ^(C)because he has humbled her; he shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days.

² And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he ^(A)took her and lay with her, and violated her. ³ His soul ^[a]was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke ^[b]kindly to the young woman. ⁴ So Shechem ^(B)spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife.”
