SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:14
y le pusiere algunas faltas, y esparciere sobre ella mala fama, y dijere: Esta tomé por mujer, y llegué a ella, y no la hallé virgen;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And give occasions of speech against her , etc.] Among her neighbours, who by his behaviour towards her, and by what he says of her, will be led in all company and conversation to traduce her character, and speak of her as a very bad woman: and bring up an evil name upon her ; take away her good name, and give her a bad one; defame her, and make her appear scandalous and reproachful to all that know her: though the Jews understand this not of private slander, but of bringing an action against her in a public court of judicature, the substance of which follows: “and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid”; the sense is, that he had married her, and when he came to cohabit with her as man and wife, it appeared to him that she was vitiated, and not a pure virgin. This is the charge in court against her, the action laid by him; so Jarchi observes, a man might not say this but before a magistrate, in a court of judicature, which is thus represented by Maimonides f366 ; “a man comes to the sanhedrim, and says, this young woman I married, and I did not find her virginities; and when I inquired into the matter, it appeared to me that she had played the whore under me, after I had betrothed her; and these are my witnesses that she played the whore before them.”
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-30 - These and the like regulations might be needful then, and yet it is no necessary that we should curiously examine respecting them. The law relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint upon fleshl lusts which war against the soul __________________________________________________________________
