(דברים כב כב) **כִּי יִמָּצֵא אִישׁ** – בְּעֵדִים. **שֹׁכֵב עִם אִשָּׁה** – כָּל שְׁכִיבָה. **בְעֻלַת בַּעַל**, לְהָבִיא אֶת שֶׁנִּבְעֲלָה בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ וַעֲדַיִן הִיא אֲרוּסָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 22:22) "*If there be found* (by witnesses) a man lying with a woman cohabited with *by a husband*": including one who was cohabited with in her father's house": i.e., while betrothed (and not yet married). Variantly: "cohabited with by a husband": R. Yishmael says: Scripture comes to teach us about a *yevamah* (a woman awaiting levirate marriage) that one who lives with her is not liable (to the death penalty) until he (the *yavam*) cohabits with her.
