17 and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity -- and these 'are' the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.
18 'And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,
19 and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.
20 'And if this thing hath been truth -- tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel --
21 then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring 'in' her father's house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
