Deuteronomy 21:11

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

And seest in the number of the captives a beautiful woman, and lovest her, and wilt have her to wife:

See the chapter Copy

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her.

Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:

But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves.

And Hemor spoke to them; The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter; give her him to wife:

And his soul was fast knit unto her: and, whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words.

The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took themselves wives of all which they chose.

If thou go out to fight against thy enemies, and the Lord thy God deliver them into thy hand, and thou lead them away captives:

Thou shalt bring her into thy house. And she shall shave her hair, and pare her nails:
