| Aug 22, 2017 at 15:21 | comment | added | ninamag | @Shalom Is this it? "The Living Torah : The Five Books of Moses and the Haftarot - A New Translation Based on Traditional Jewish Sources, with notes, introduction, maps, ... & index (English and Hebrew Edition) by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan"? | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 15:20 | comment | added | ninamag | @Shalom what is the exact name of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's translation? | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 15:18 | comment | added | Shalom | @FMS even the literal interpretation is only to bring out the sheet if it can resolve a massive dispute and save the marriage. Nowhere does it say to do this on a regular basis. | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 15:17 | comment | added | Shalom | @ninamag a single consolidated one? I don't think so; go through Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's translation and you'll see from his footnotes where our interpretation is non-literal. | |

| Mar 7, 2015 at 20:06 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | What if her virginity was lost before the betrothal? | |

| Nov 30, 2014 at 5:11 | comment | added | FMS | @DoubleAA As with any interpretation, are there any Jewish groups then and now that interpret this literally and say lay out a garment when marriage is first consummated? | |
| Nov 30, 2014 at 4:59 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @FMS The garment is the sheet with hymenal blood proving virginity. As Shalom said though this is not taken literally in traditional Judaism. Rather it's a sort of euphemism for proof. | |
| Nov 30, 2014 at 4:50 | comment | added | FMS | I am Confused. Then what does v. 17 mean And behold, he made libelous charges, saying, 'I did not find evidence of your daughter's virginity.' But this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity!' And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. Any chance to address this in your answer? | |
