Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing,.... Neither fine her, nor beat her, and much less punish her with death:

there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; because what was done to her was done without her will and consent, and was what she was forced to submit unto; but the Targum of Jonathan adds, that the man to whom she was betrothed might dismiss her from himself by a bill of divorce:

for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter; as when a man comes unawares upon another, and lays hold on him, and kills him, being stronger than he, and none to help; so is the case of a woman laid hold on by a man in a field, and ravished by him, where no help could be had; and depriving a woman of her chastity is like taking away a man's life; from this passage Maimonides (c) concludes, that impurities, incests, and adulteries, are equal to murder, to capital cases relating to life and death.

(c) Hilchot Yesode Hattorah, c. 5. sect. 10.


Geneva Study Bible

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 neighbour, and slayeth him, even so {k} is this matter:

(k) Meaning, that the innocent cannot be punished.


Wesley's Notes

22:26 Even so - Not an act of choice, but of force and constraint.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:13-30 These and the like regulations might be needful then, and yet it is not necessary that we should curiously examine respecting them. The laws relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint upon fleshly lusts which war against the soul.


Deuteronomy 21:22 If a man guilty of a capital offense is put to death and his body is hung on a tree,
Deuteronomy 22:25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die.
Deuteronomy 22:27 for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
