LEV. XVIII, 20. Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy
neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her.
LEV. XX, 10. And the man that committeth adultery with another man's
wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the
adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
LEV. XXI, 7. They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane;
neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is
holy unto his God.
DEUT. XXII, 22. If a man be found lying with a woman married to a
husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with
the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a
man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24. Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and
ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she
cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his
neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
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:
26. But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel
no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor,
and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27. For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and
there was none to save her.
28. If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed,
and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29. Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father
fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath
humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
DEUT. XXIII, 17. There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel,
nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog,
into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these
are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
PROV. V, 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and
her mouth is smoother than oil:
4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
PROV. VI, 24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of
the tongue of a strange woman.
25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take
thee with her eyelids.
26. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of
bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28. Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29. So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; whosoever toucheth her
shall not be innocent.
PROV. VI, 32. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
