Deuteronomy - 21:11 Meaning
“And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;”
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.
“And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.”
