Deuteronomy 22:19
The Scripture

Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Deuteronomy 22 presents a collection of social and civil laws given by Moses, covering obligations such as returning strayed animals, preserving distinctions in nature and dress, and protecting birds in the wild. The chapter then turns to laws governing marriage and sexual conduct, including requirements for a bride's purity, penalties for adultery and rape, and protections for women in various circumstances. These statutes reflect Israel's call to maintain holiness and justice in every area of community life.
