וְלָקַ֛ח אֲבִ֥י הנער [הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה] וְאִמָּ֑הּ וְהוֹצִ֜יאוּ אֶת־בְּתוּלֵ֧י הנער [הַֽנַּעֲרָ֛ה] אֶל־זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִ֖יר הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃
then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate.
Targum Jonathan on Deuteronomy
then the father and mother of the damsel may have licence from the court of judgment to produce the linen with the witnesses of her virginity, before the sages of the city, at the door of the beth din.
