Bible Trivia: I'm a Little Bit Country

In Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Moses says that if a man sleeps with a virgin within the city who is pledged to be married her family must:

A:  banish their daughter

B:  stone their daughter

C:  stone both of them

D:  receive 50 shekles and and a marriage request

Young heartbreak So devastating.  So trivial.



ANSWER:  C


23 “If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a 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 with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you.

Know what the best part about this whole law?  If you read  carefully you notice that the words "in the city" appear.  That's important because of the next passage:

25 “But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the countryside, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.  

 This more or less gives country girls a license to be slutty.

 Yee Haw!
