«وَلكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ هذَا الأَمْرُ صَحِيحًا، لَمْ تُوجَدْ عُذْرَةٌ لِلْفَتَاةِ.But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:Deuteronomy 22:20, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلإِنْسَانِ: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ». فَمَدَّهَا. فَعَادَتْ صَحِيحَةً كَالأُخْرَى.Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.Matthew 12:13, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَلِلرِّضَا عَنْكُمْ يَكُونُ ذَكَرًا صَحِيحًا مِنَ الْبَقَرِ أَوِ الْغَنَمِ أَوِ الْمَعْزِ.Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.Leviticus 22:19, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
