Judges 21:16-21
16Then the eldersH2205 of the congregationH5712 saidH559, HowH4100 shall we do for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498, seeing the womenH802 are destroyedH8045 out of BenjaminH1144? 17And they saidH559, There must be an inheritance for them that are escapedH6413 of BenjaminH1144, that a tribeH7626 be not blotted out from IsraelH3478. 18Howbeit we may not giveH5414 them wivesH802 of our daughtersH1323, for the children of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650, sayingH559, CursedH779 be he that giveth a wifeH802 to BenjaminH1144. 19And they saidH559, Behold, there is a feastH2282 of Jehovah from year to year in ShilohH7887, which is on the northH6828 of Beth-el, on the eastH4217 side of the highwayH4546 that goeth up from Beth-el to ShechemH7927, and on the southH5045 of Lebonah. 20And they commandedH6680 the children of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, Go and lieH693 in waitH693 in the vineyardsH3754, 21and seeH7200, and, behold, if the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887 comeH1980 out to dance in the dances, then comeH1980 ye out of the vineyardsH3754, and catch you every manH376 his wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887, and goH1980 to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144.
