וְֽאִם־בַּשָּׂדֶה יִמְצָא הָאִישׁ אֶת־הַֽנַּעֲרָ הַמְאֹרָשָׂה וְהֶחֱזִֽיק־בָּהּ הָאִישׁ וְשָׁכַב עִמָּהּ וּמֵת הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁכַב עִמָּהּ לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
But if in the field the man encounters the married girl, and the man holds her and had intercourse with her; then he shall die—only the man who had intercourse with her.

וְלַֽנַּעֲרָ לֹא־תַעֲשֶׂה דָבָר אֵין לַֽנַּעֲרָ חֵטְא מָוֶת כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יָקוּם אִישׁ עַל־רֵעֵהוּ וּרְצָחוֹ נֶפֶשׁ כֵּן הַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
But to the girl you will not do a thing, the girl has no death liability; for, just as if a man rises up against his peer and murders him, so is this matter.

כִּי בַשָּׂדֶה מְצָאָהּ צָעֲקָה הַֽנַּעֲרָ הַמְאֹרָשָׂה וְאֵין מוֹשִׁיעַ לָֽהּ׃ {ס}
For he encountered her in the field; the married girl screamed, but there was no one to rescue her.
For he encountered her in the field; the married girl screamed, but there was no one to rescue her.
כי כאשר יקום וגו'. לְפִי פְשׁוּטוֹ זֶהוּ מַשְׁמָעוֹ: כִּי אֲנוּסָה הִיא וּבְחָזְקָה עָמַד עָלֶיהָ, כְּאָדָם הָעוֹמֵד עַל חֲבֵרוֹ לְהָרְגוֹ. וְרַבּוֹתֵינוּ דָּרְשׁוּ בוֹ הֲרֵי זֶה בָא לְלַמֵּד וְנִמְצָא לָמֵד וְכוּ' (סנהדרין ע"ג):
For, just as if a man rises up, etc. According to the plain interpretation, this is its meaning; ‘For she was coerced, he overpowered her, similar to a man who rises up against his fellow murderously.’ Our Sages expound, here, ‘This appears to teach, but subsequently learns, etc.’
