The table below presents presents two contradictory verses. Both verses talk about adulterous-like behavior. The underlined words highlight the contradiction. One verse says adulterous-like behavior is punishable with death while the other verse says it is not punished with death. Which is it? Is adulterous-like behavior always punished with death or not. Rashi simply resolves this using the 2 Aspects method: A free woman has the capacity to enter a marital relationship. Even before she is fully married the designation before witnesses creates a semi marital status and intimacy with this women is adultery, punishable by death. But a female slave who enters a designated state (designated to a particular man) - is not considered married (until she is free) and consequently a violation of this designated state via intimacy is not punishable by death. In other words, a free (non slave) status is an intrinsic prerequisite to a marital status.

There is a death penalty	Lv20-10	And the man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
There is no death penalty for violation of a female slave's designated status	Lv19-20	And whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a slave betrothed to a man, and not wholly redeemed, nor freedom given her; inquiry shall be made; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
Resolution:	2 Aspects:	A free woman has the capacity to enter a marital relationship. Even before she is fully married the designation before witnesses creates a semi marital status and intimacy with this women is adultery, punishable by death.
