22:20,21
If the woman was not a virgin, then the consequences for her were extremely serious, resulting in death. Now should we stone people to death for having sex before marriage? No, but we should treat it as a very serious matter. God created sex for marriage between one man and one woman. Any violation of this rule is very destructive.
22:22
Adultery is forbidden in the Ten Commandments, and if a couple were found engaging in adultery then they were both to be put to death. Again, should we have the death penalty for adultery? No, but we really do need to recognise how destructive it is.
