דברים כ״ב:כ׳-כ״א

ואם אמת היה הדבר. בְּעֵדִים וְהַתְרָאָה, שֶׁזִּנְּתָה לְאַחַר אֵרוּסִין (כתובות מ"ד):

However, if the allegation is true. Through witnesses, and with a pre-warning, that she committed adultery after her אֵירוּסִין — marriage.

אל פתח בית אביה. רְאוּ גִּדּוּלִים שֶׁגִּדַּלְתֶּם (שם מ"ה):

To the entrance of her father’s home. Look at the branch you nurtured.

אנשי עירה. בְּמַעֲמַד כָּל אַנְשֵׁי עִירָהּ (ספרי):

The people of her city. In the presence of all the people of her city.

לזנות בית אביה. כְּמוֹ בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ:

Behaving promiscuously [in] her father’s house. As if it had said “in” her father’s house.
