The victim is not punished: as the Bible declares, "this matter is similar to when a man rises up against his fellow and murders him"; just as a murder victim is not guilty of murder, a rape victim is not guilty of adultery. [4] If a husband suspected his wife of adultery, the ordeal of the bitter water could be performed to determine her guilt ...
This verse follows immediately after the prohibition against murder, and the Sermon follows this same pattern. The equation of lust with adultery is very similar to the earlier equation of anger and murder in Matthew 5:22.
