¹⁰ ‘If a man commits adultery^(A) with a married woman – if he commits adultery with his neighbour’s wife – both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

²² ‘If a man is discovered having sexual relations with another man’s wife, both the man who had sex with the woman and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel. ²³ If there is a young woman who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her, ²⁴ take the two of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death – the young woman because she did not cry out in the city and the man because he has violated his neighbour’s fiancée. You must purge the evil from you.

³⁸ I will judge you the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged.^(A) Then I will bring about the shedding of your blood in jealous wrath.^{(B) 39} I will hand you over to them, and they will demolish your mounds and tear down your elevated places. They will strip off your clothes,^(C) take your beautiful jewellery, and leave you stark naked. ⁴⁰ They will bring a mob against you^(D) to stone you and to cut you to pieces with their swords. ⁴¹ They will burn your houses and execute judgements against you in the sight of many women. I will stop you from being a prostitute,^(E) and you will never again pay fees for lovers.
