But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

Commentary

But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field,.... Alone, and where she might cry out, and none hear, nor were any to help her: and a man force her, and lie with her; or "take fast and strong hold on her" (b); so that she is not able to get out of his hands, and make her escape, he being stronger than she, and so commits a rape upon her: then the man only that lay with her shall die; he being guilty of adultery, in lying with a woman espoused to another man, but not she, because she consented not to it. (b) "et apprehenderit (in) eam", Pagninus, Montanus; "et apprehendens eam", Piscator.
