The Facts (Chapter number: Verse)
22:16-18 - When a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and lies with her, he shall give the bride price for her and make her his wife.

My Comments
Well, now we at least get God caring about the little people. God's wrath will come down upon anyone who treats widows or orphans badly, and I think that is a nice step in the right direction. Of course with his wrath he creates MORE orphans and widows, but you know, take what you can get.
And a woman's virginity is always available for a price.
Female sorcerers shall be destroy, but apparently MALE sorcerers are totally cool.
And women subvert justice. Awesome.
Now I'm gonna go recreate a Biblically accurate arc of the covenant and tabernacle. And then NOT go into it because I have boobs. Should be fun.
Tomorrow: Exodus 28-32
