Bringing the accused to the door of her father's house underscores the public nature of the offense and the shame brought upon the family. This act also highlights the patriarchal structure of the society, where the father held significant responsibility for the conduct of his household. The door of the father's house is a place of judgment, similar to the city gates where elders would convene for legal matters (<a href="/deuteronomy/21-19.htm">Deuteronomy 21:19</a>).<p><b>and there the men of her city will stone her to death</b><br>Stoning was a common form of capital punishment in ancient Israel, intended to serve as a communal act of justice and deterrence. The involvement of the men of the city indicates that the offense was not just against the family but against the community and its covenant with God. This communal participation in the execution reflects the collective responsibility to uphold the law and maintain purity within the community. Stoning is mentioned in other parts of the Old Testament as a punishment for various transgressions (<a href="/leviticus/20-2.htm">Leviticus 20:2</a>, <a href="/numbers/15-35.htm">Numbers 15:35</a>).<p><b>For she has committed an outrage in Israel</b><br>The term "outrage" signifies a severe violation of social and religious norms. In the context of Israel, such an act was seen as a direct affront to the covenant relationship with God. The phrase emphasizes the gravity of the sin, not just as a personal failing but as a disruption to the holiness and order that God commanded for His people. This reflects the broader biblical theme of Israel as a chosen nation called to be holy and set apart (<a href="/exodus/19-6.htm">Exodus 19:6</a>).<p><b>by being promiscuous in her father’s house</b><br>This phrase highlights the expectation of sexual purity and the importance of maintaining family honor. The father's house is symbolic of the protection and authority under which a daughter was expected to remain chaste until marriage. Promiscuity was seen as a breach of this trust and a dishonor to the family, reflecting the cultural and religious emphasis on sexual morality. This expectation is consistent with other biblical teachings on sexual conduct (<a href="/1_corinthians/6-18.htm">1 Corinthians 6:18-20</a>).<p><b>So you must purge the evil from among you</b><br>The command to purge evil underscores the necessity of maintaining the community's holiness and obedience to God's laws. This phrase is repeated throughout Deuteronomy as a directive to remove sin and its influence from the community (<a href="/deuteronomy/13-5.htm">Deuteronomy 13:5, 17</a>:7). It reflects the seriousness with which God views sin and the need for His people to actively uphold righteousness. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are called to separate themselves from sin (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-13.htm">1 Corinthians 5:13</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_young_woman.htm">The Young Woman</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, accused of promiscuity while in her father's house.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_father's_house.htm">The Father’s House</a></b><br>The location where the judgment is carried out, symbolizing the family’s honor and the community's moral standards.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_community_of_israel.htm">The Community of Israel</a></b><br>The broader society that enforces the law to maintain purity and holiness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_elders_and_judges.htm">The Elders and Judges</a></b><br>Though not explicitly mentioned in this verse, they are the ones responsible for carrying out the law and ensuring justice.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_act_of_stoning.htm">The Act of Stoning</a></b><br>A severe form of capital punishment used to remove evil from the community and serve as a deterrent.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>This passage underscores the gravity of sin, particularly sexual immorality, and its impact on the community.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_responsibility.htm">Community Responsibility</a></b><br>The community is responsible for upholding God's standards and ensuring that sin is addressed and not tolerated.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_justice_and_mercy.htm">The Role of Justice and Mercy</a></b><br>While the law demands justice, the New Testament introduces the balance of mercy and forgiveness through Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/purity_and_holiness.htm">Purity and Holiness</a></b><br>Believers are called to live lives of purity, reflecting God's holiness in their personal and communal lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/cultural_context_and_application.htm">Cultural Context and Application</a></b><br>Understanding the cultural and historical context of this law helps us apply its principles in a way that aligns with the teachings of Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_22.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 22</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_faith.htm">Does the Bible mandate stoning non-virgins?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_happened_to_the_levite's_concubine.htm">What happened to the Levite's concubine in Gibeah?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_deut._22's_virginity_tokens_clash_with_modern_anatomy.htm">How do the “tokens of virginity” in Deuteronomy 22 reflect ancient cultural assumptions about female anatomy that conflict with modern medical understanding?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_severe_punishment_for_non-virgin_bride.htm">Why does Deuteronomy 22:13–21 prescribe a severe punishment if a bride is found not to be a virgin? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/22-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">[she]</span><br /><span class="heb">הַֽנַּעֲרָ֜ה</span> <span class="translit">(han·na·‘ă·rāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
