21and watchH7200; and beholdH2009, ifH518 the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887 comeH3318 outH3318 to 12takeH2342 partH2342 in the dancesH4246, then you shall comeH3318 outH3318 of the vineyardsH3754, and eachH376 of you shall seizeH2414 his wifeH802 from the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887, and goH1980 to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144.

22And whenH3588 their fathersH1 orH176 their brothersH251 comeH935 to complainH7378 to us, we shall sayH559 to them, ‘3GiveH2603 them to us voluntarilyH2603, becauseH3588 we did not takeH3947 for eachH376 manH376 of Benjamin 4a wifeH802 in battleH4421, 56norH3588H3808 did you giveH5414 them to them, 7otherwise you would nowH6256 be guiltyH816.’”

23The sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 didH6213 soH3651, and tookH5375 wivesH802 according to their numberH4557 from those who dancedH2342, whomH834 they seizedH1497. And they wentH1980 and returnedH7725 to their inheritanceH5159, and 8rebuiltH1129 the citiesH5892 and livedH3427 in them.
