Exegesis
Finally, the adverb kein {כֵּן | kên} ‘thus’ and demonstrative ha-zeh {הַזֶּה | ha-zēh} ‘this’ close the simile, equating the present case’s gravity with homicide without attributing blame to the victim.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:26
But to the young woman you shall do nothing; there is no sin of death in the young woman, for just as when a man rises up against his neighbor and murders him—a life—so is this matter .
