Marrying Female Captives (DEU 21:10-14)

[21:10] “When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive,

[21:11] and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife,

[21:12] and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails.

[21:13] And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

[21:14] But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her.
