SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:23
Cuando fuere joven virgen desposada con alguno, y alguno la hallare en la ciudad, y se echare con ella;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband , etc.] But not married, not as yet brought home to her husband’s house, and the marriage consummated; for the Jews distinguish between being betrothed or espoused, and married; and generally there was some time between the one and the other. And a wife was obtained in this way by three things; by money, which was the most usual; and by writing, which was to be done before witnesses, and with her consent; and by copulation, which, though valid, was not so much approved of f376 . There is a whole treatise in the Misnah, called Kiddushin, or Espousals, which largely treats of this matter: and a man find her in the city, and lie with her ; with her consent, as might be presumed by her not crying out, when, had she, she might have been heard, being in a city; and her being there also makes against her, since, being betrothed to a man, she ought to have abode in her father’s house till her husband fetched her home, and not to have gadded abroad in the city, where she was exposed to temptation.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-30 - These and the like regulations might be needful then, and yet it is no necessary that we should curiously examine respecting them. The law relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint upon fleshl lusts which war against the soul __________________________________________________________________
