Deuteronomy 22:25-27 Damsel Cried

 25But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die. 26Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him. 27When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.

“Significantly, the woman was not blamed for the rape, and it was presumed that she was innocent in this circumstance.” (Guzik)

Capitol Punishment 

Rape was a crime that if found guilty the man was to be stoned to death. But there was several examples of rape in the Bible that vengeance was served instead of a trial and stoning. Here’s one example:

2 Samuel 13: 14But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her. 

28Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him.

Because the rape wasn’t legally addressed it invited the sin of murder.

If we don’t study the Lords boundaries of sin then how can we set boundaries for our children?
