- <i>Such an argument ignores the fundamental distinction between people

- </div>There is every reason to think that this passage comprehends rape,

- Jews. And considering earlier passages reinforces this interpretation.
- Lets look at the explicitly consensual passage earlier in this section.<br>
- <br>
- Deuteronomy 22:23,24<br>
- If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, <b>and a man find her in the city, and lie with her</b>;
- Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye
- shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she
- cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his
- neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.<br>
- <br>
- Did you see that? He finds her in the city and lays with her. There is no mention of him "taking hold" of her. <br>

- Even so, the case of rape described does state the use of the death

- </div>It does not show how to determine rape at all, which is the
- biggest defeater of the claim that this passage is imposing a punishment
- for rape. The rape is not determined, it is presumed given the lack of
- witnesses. Now you have one of two possibilities. Either the crime being
- punished is rape, therefore God demands that we presume guilt, or the
- crime is adultery, and we presume the innocence of the woman. Only the
- latter case is consistent with God's justice.</div>
