Deuteronomy 21:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And shalt see among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thy wife,
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, [a]and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails,
13 And she shall put off the garment that she was taken in, and she shall remain in thine house, [b]and bewail her father and her mother a month long: and after that shalt thou go in unto her, and marry her, and she shall be thy [c]wife.
