  • Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (thematic): Prescribes penalties and obligations for a man who lies with a virgin who is not betrothed (financial payment and marriage), shifting culpability/resolution to the man rather than imposing death on the woman—analogous legal approach to sexual intercourse with non-free or unmarried women.
  • Exodus 22:16-17 (thematic): Requires a man who seduces an unbetrothed virgin to pay a bride-price and/or marry her, again redirecting legal responsibility onto the man in cases of sexual relations with a woman who is not married/free, resonating with Lev 19:20’s protective provision for the woman.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: You shall be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy.

Each of you shall revere his mother and his father, and my Sabbaths you shall keep; I am the LORD your God.

Do not turn to idols, and gods of cast metal you shall not make for yourselves; I am the LORD your God. And when you offer a sacrifice of well-being to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.

On the day you sacrifice it it shall be eaten, and on the next day; and what remains until the third day shall be burned with fire. And if it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted; it will not be accepted. And the one who eats it shall bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD; that person shall be cut off from among his people. And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not finish the edge of your field in reaping, and the gleanings of your harvest you shall not gather. And your vineyard you shall not strip bare, and the fallen fruit of your vineyard you shall not glean; for the poor and the sojourner you shall leave them; I am the LORD your God.

You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie, each to his fellow. And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.

You shall not oppress your neighbor, and you shall not rob; the wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you until morning.

You shall not curse the deaf, and before the blind you shall not put a stumbling block; and you shall fear your God; I am the LORD.

You shall not do injustice in judgment; you shall not show partiality to the poor, and you shall not defer to the great; with justice you shall judge your fellow.

You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people; you shall not stand by the blood of your neighbor; I am the LORD.

You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you shall surely reprove your fellow, and you shall not incur sin because of him.

You shall not take vengeance, and you shall not keep a grudge against the sons of your people; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.

My statutes you shall keep: you shall not breed your livestock with mixed kinds; your field you shall not sow with mixed seed; and a garment of mixed kinds—interwoven—shall not come upon you. And if a man lies with a woman with an emission of seed, and she is a slave-woman assigned to a man, and she has not been redeemed, nor has freedom been given her—there shall be punishment; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. And he shall bring his guilt-offering to the LORD, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, a ram for a guilt-offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before the LORD for his sin that he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven for his sin that he has sinned. And when you come into the land and you plant any food tree, you shall regard its fruit as uncircumcised; three years it shall be uncircumcised for you; it shall not be eaten. And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD. And in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may increase its yield for you; I am the LORD your God.

You shall not eat over the blood. You shall not practice divination, and you shall not practice soothsaying.

You shall not round off the edge of your head, and you shall not destroy the edge of your beard. And you shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, and you shall not put tattoo marks upon yourselves; I am the LORD.

Do not profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute, lest the land prostitute itself and the land be filled with depravity.

My Sabbaths you shall keep, and my sanctuary you shall fear; I am the LORD.

Do not turn to mediums or to spiritists; do not seek them out, to be defiled by them; I am the LORD your God.

Before the gray-haired you shall rise, and you shall honor the face of the aged; and you shall fear your God; I am the LORD. And when a sojourner resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him.

As a native among you shall the sojourner who resides with you be to you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.

You shall not do injustice in judgment—in measurement, in weight, or in capacity.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin you shall have; I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. And you shall keep all my statutes and all my judgments, and you shall do them; I am the LORD.
