Judges 21:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ ¶ Then the elders of the congregation said, What shall we do for wives for those that remain? For the female sex had been destroyed out of Benjamin.

¹⁷ And they said, Let the inheritance of Benjamin be saved that a tribe not be destroyed out of Israel.

¹⁸ However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that gives a wife to anyone of Benjamin.
