Deuteronomy - 21:10 Meaning
“When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
21:10-14 By this law a soldier was allowed to marry his captive, if he pleased. This might take place upon some occasions; but the law does not show any approval of it. It also intimates how binding the laws of justice and honour are in marriage; which is a sacred engagement.
“As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
