Before accessing the excerpts, please review a word about copyright.

Are you more of an "I'll dive right in and figure it out" person, or a "Show Me How This Thing Works" person?  If the former, go right ahead and try the excerpts browers on the right side of this page and/or scroll through the excerpts that start below the following information -- although we still suggest reading the information first.  If you are the latter, click here for a video demonstrating the Excerpts Browser. Either way (or both), enjoy! 

This page is recommended for searches limited to specific Torah books, weekly portions (parshiot), chapters, verses, and/or sources (authors). For keyword and/or for exact phrase (including verse and source) searches of the entire excerpts database, we recommend using the Search Engine page.  For broadest results, use both pages and alternative search strategies. 

This page displays the full text of all or "sorted" (filtered) excerpts in the database.  Use the "Torah Verses" and/or "Excerpt Sources" browsers at the right to locate the excerpts associated with your desired Torah book, portion, chapter. verse, or author.  Or, simply scroll through the excerpts, using the "boxes" at the bottom of any page displaying excerpts to "jump" ahead or back. 

Also note that immediately below the chapter, verse, and keyword of each excerpt is a highlighted line comprised of multiple links.  Clicking on any of the links will limit (filter) the excerpts display to the selected category.  

Transcription of excerpts is incomplete.  For current status, please see "Transcribed Sources" on the Search Engine page.  To assist with completion, please see "Contributors" page.

DEUT1201 The ravisher gives four things: the fine, and [payment for] shame, injury, and suffering, it being written: "Then the man who lies with her shall give fifty [shekels of] silver": For the enjoyment of lying with her he gives fifty shekels -- whence it is inferred that there is also [payment for] shame, injury, and suffering (Ketuvoth 40b)

DEUTERONOMY — 22:29 relations

Torah Book & Portion, Book of Deuteronomy, Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10–25:19), Source Book Keys, CHINUCH
Page(s): 357-8
DEUT1202 If a man forces relations on an unmarried chaste woman, he must marry her. Key concept: Discourage immoral men from committing this despicable sin, and to save our nation's young women from being preyed upon. If the assailant knows that after his deed, his victim will be attached to him forever, and even if she is despicable to him, he will have to feed and clothe her and live with her as all men live with their wives, he will think twice. If he realizes that he also will have to pay a fine to her father, he hopefully will control himself and refrain from the sin. Also, this law provides some degree of consolation for the disgraced maiden, for she now has a husband, and no one will embarrass her further.
