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.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 22 of Deuteronomy. Laws concerning accusations against a wife, adultery, seduction, and other sexual situations establish different procedures and responsibilities. The text treats sexuality within the framework of covenant, family reputation, and communal justice. The various cases show that Deuteronomy does not apply a single penalty to every situation, but distinguishes specific circumstances.

Wenn aber jemand eine verlobte Dirne auf dem Felde kriegt und ergreift sie und schläft bei ihr, so soll der Mann allein sterben, der bei ihr geschlafen hat,
Mas si el hombre halló una moza desposada en la campo, y él la agarrare, y se echare con ella, morirá sólo el hombre que con ella se habrá echado;
Pero si el hombre encuentra en el campo a la joven prometida en matrimonio, la fuerza y se acuesta con ella, morirá solo el hombre que se acostó con ella.
Mais si c'est dans les champs que cet homme rencontre la jeune femme fiancée, lui fait violence et couche avec elle, l'homme qui aura couché avec elle sera seul puni de mort.
Ma, se l’uomo trova su per li campi una fanciulla sposa, e la prende a forza, e giace con lei; muoia sol l’uomo che sarà giaciuto con lei.
E se algum homem no campo achar uma moça desposada, e o homem a forçar, e se deitar com ela, então morrerá só o homem que se deitou com ela;
「若有男子在野地遇見已經許配人的女子,抓住她與她同寢,只要處死那與女子同寢的男子。
