Had the author of Deuteronomy, Moses, (and the Holy Spirit who inspired him) intended to depict this as a sexual assault, it seems unlikely that he would have chosen tāpas instead of ḥāz aq – the verb used just before it. However, verses 28-29 do not necessarily indicate she was raped. This woman was indeed violated she was dishonored and humiliated. This does not mitigate the seriousness of the act. It’s likely that the woman in verses 28-29 experienced overwhelming persuasion, perhaps an erosion of her resolve, but not necessarily a sexual assault. Daniel Block notes that, unlike the law in verses 25-27, this law has neither a cry for help, nor an account of male violence. This is distinct from ḥāz aq, which describes a forcible overpowering. Tāpas also appears in Genesis 39:12 when Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce Joseph, she seized ( tāpas) him to wear down his resolve. Tāpas is often used to describe a capture. There’s a delicate difference between these two verbs, but it makes all the difference. As one Hebrew scholar explains, tāpas does not, in and of itself, infer assault it means she was “held,” but not necessarily “attacked.’ 25-27, tāpas can also be translated as “seize.” Unlike ḥāz aq, however, tāpas does not carry the same connotation of force. Tāpas means to “lay hold ,” or “wield.” Like חָזַק ( ḥāz aq, the word for “force) used in vv. The verb used to explain what happened to the woman is תָּפַשׂ (tāpas). This law describes how the community of Israel responded when an unbetrothed virgin was violated through premarital sexual intercourse. Like all biblical law, Deuteronomy 22:28-29 reflects God’s character when we see the meaning of the Law, we see the heart of the Lawgiver. It’s a frequent accusation about Scripture’s treatment of women.
