"If a man comes upon a girl who is a virgin but who is not engaged, and he grabs her and has sexual relations with her, and they are caught in the act,

"No woman of Isra'el is to engage in ritual prostitution, and no man of Isra'el is to engage in ritual homosexual prostitution.

"'A curse on anyone who has sexual relations with his father's wife, because he has violated his father's rights.'All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

But his concubine was unfaithful to him and left him to go to her father's house at Beit-Lechem in Y'hudah, where she stayed for some time, four months.

Then her husband went after her to persuade her to return; he had his servant with him and a pair of donkeys. She brought him into her father's house; and when the girl's father saw him, he was glad to meet him.

His father-in-law, the girl's father, kept him there; so he remained with him three days; they ate, drank and stayed there.

"I made a covenant with my eyes not to let them lust after any girl.

"If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door;

then let my wife grind for another man, and let others kneel on her.
