Q: I’m wondering why adultery deserves the death sentence in the Old Testament, it seems so severe, why not forgiveness for adulterers?
A: Here’s the word of The LORD under the Mosaic Law, Holy Bible KJV, Exodus 20:14, Leviticus 20:10;
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
