Deuteronomy 21:11 · ZARZA Bible

In context

9In this way you will purge from among you the guilt of innocent blood, since you will be doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh. 10When you go out to war against your enemies and Yahweh your God delivers them into your hand and you take captives, 11if you see among the captives a beautiful woman and desire her, and want to take her as your wife, 12bring her into your home. She is to shave her head, trim her nails, 13and remove the clothes she was captured in. She is to stay in your house and mourn her father and mother a full month. After that, you may go in to her and be her husband, and she will be your wife.
