## Deuteronomy 22:20 in Context (Verses 17–23 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/22/17) And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech *against her*, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these *are the tokens of* my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

 [23 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/22/23) ¶ If a damsel *that is* a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
