Ale wszystkie dzieweczki z białych głów, które nie poznały łoża męskiego, żywo zachowajcie sobie.
Zostawcie dla siebie tylko te młode kobiety, które nie obcowały z mężczyzną.
Wszystkie jednak dzieci płci żeńskiej, które nie poznały męskiego łoża zostawcie dla siebie przy życiu.
Ale wszystkie dzieweczki z białych głów, które nie poznały łoża męskiego, żywo zachowajcie sobie.
Lecz wszystkie dziewczyny, które nie obcowały z mężczyzną, zostawcie przy życiu dla siebie.
Ale zostawcie przy życiu dla siebie wszystkie małe dziewczęta, które jeszcze nie poznały współżycia z mężczyzną.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
keep alive for yourselves: It has been groundlessly asserted, that Moses here authorised the Israelites to make concubines of the whole number of female children; and an insidious objection against his writings has been grounded upon this monstrous supposition. But the whole tenor of the law, and especially a statute recorded in Deuteronomy 21:10-14, proves most decisively to the contrary. They were merely permitted to possess them as female slaves, educating them in their families, and employing them as domestics; for the laws concerning fornication, concubinage, and marriage, were in full force, and prohibited an Israelite even from marrying a captive, without delays and previous formalities; and if he afterwards divorced her, he was to set here at liberty, "because he had humbled her." Leviticus 25:44, Deuteronomy 20:14, Deuteronomy 21:10-14, 2 Chronicles 28:8-10, Isaiah 14:2
Reciprocal: Genesis 24:16 - known Deuteronomy 20:13 - thou shalt smite Deuteronomy 21:11 - that Judges 21:11 - every male
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But all the women children,.... The females among the little ones:
that have not known a man by lying with him; which might be pretty clear, and easily concluded, from their age:
keep for yourselves; either to be handmaids to them, or to be married among them when grown up, and become proselytes, and initiated into their religion.
