Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Shall both of them die - Thus we find that in the most ancient of all laws adultery was punished with death in both the parties.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,..... This law respects adultery, and is the same with that in Leviticus 20:10.

then they shall both of them die; with the strangling of a napkin, as the Targum of Jonathan, which is the death such persons were put to; and is always meant when death is simply spoken of, and it is not specified what death; See Gill on Leviticus 20:10,

both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; they were both to die, and to die the same death:

so shalt thou put away evil from Israel; such that do it, as the above Targum; See Gill on Deuteronomy 22:21.


Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

If any one lay with a married woman, they were both of them to be put to death as adulterers (cf. Leviticus 20:10).


Geneva Study Bible

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an 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.

Leviticus 20:10 "'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
2 Samuel 11:5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant."
