21and watchH7200; and beholdH2009, ifH518 the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887 comeH3318 out to 12takeH2342 partH2342 in the dancesH4246, then you shall comeH3318 out of the vineyardsH3754 and eachH376 of you shall catchH2414 his wifeH802 from the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887, and goH1980 to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144.
22It shall comeH1961 about, whenH3588 their fathersH1 orH176 their brothersH251 comeH935 to complainH7378 to us, that we shall sayH559 to them, ‘GiveH2603 them to us voluntarilyH2603, becauseH3588 we did not takeH3947 for eachH376 manH376 of Benjamin 3a wifeH802 in battleH4421, 45norH3588H3808 did you giveH5414 them to them, else you would nowH6256 be guiltyH816.’”
