22 " If a man is found lying with a married e woman , then both e of them shall die , the man who lay with the woman , and the woman ; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel . 23 " If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man , and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death ; the girl , because e e she did not cry out in the city , and the man , because e e he has violated his neighbor's wife . Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.
