Teachings regarding sexual promiscuity

22:14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid
22:15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring out [the tokens of] the damsel’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate
22:16 And the damsel’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;
22:17 And, lo, he has given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not your daughter a maid ; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
22:19 And they shall fine him in an hundred [shekelsשקל plural שקלים

22:21 Then they shall bring out the girl to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die because she has worked folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house so will you put evil away from among you.

22:24 Then ya’ll shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and ya’ll shall stone them with stones so that they die ; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city ; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife so you will put away evil from among you.
22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her then the man only that lay with her shall die
