You already saw the sole occurrence of “khazaq” and I said no more than that. Are you asking for the scriptures to micromanage the rest or can you presume that even human judges can figure the rest out? Omission does not mean absence of jurisprudence.

Incidentally, getting back to the Ten Commandments (a law so stringent that no human can keep it—the Bible says that only with the Holy Spirit and faith it’d be possible to keep it), other verses in the rest of the Bible proscribe death for even breaking one of those commandments (Romans 6:23; James 2:10). The death penalty becomes more encompassing thereby.

So... violently raping a virgin is of such little importance that the Old Testament never even addresses it? In that whole, huge collection of writings, that tells you how to dress, how to pray, what to eat, how to speak, how to plant your fields... (the important things, apparently)... only mentions rape ONCE??

And only long enough to say that if the woman was raped, and is betrothed, don't kill her?

Because taking the time to utter ONE SENTENCE about rape being wrong is "micromanaging?" That's how little importance is attached to it?

Wow. Thank you. You have proved my point for me, better than I ever could. The god of the Muslims and the god of the Old Testament are definitely the same god. Moreso even than I realized. You have illustrated it beautifully.
