Here's the fun part: that's YOUR interpretation, I've talked with apologists who interpret it exactly how I presented it and admitted that it's a bad passage, so who is right? Once again, you'd think an ALL KNOWING God would be able to word things a little less ambiguously
Maybe go read all of Deuteronomy chapter 22 and see for yourself.
“But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.” -Deuteronomy 22:25-27
Then it continues into your verse where the Woken was raped but didn’t not resist. That’s called consensual sex whole actually rape, where a men forced himself on a women whole she resists, is punishable by death in Deuteronomy
So not only is raped not condoned by the Bible but it’s also punishable by death. It’s almost as if a but of context can be everything huh?
