Formal Translation And you shall bring out the young woman to the entrance of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die, because she has done a disgraceful act in Israel by acting as a prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. |

Dynamic Translation Then you are to take the young woman to the doorway of her father’s home, and the men of the town will stone her to death with stones, because she committed a shocking disgrace in Israel by being promiscuous while still living in her father’s house. In this way, you must purge the evil from among you. |
