Genesis 1:27Easy To Read VersionSo God made people in his own image. God made people as a copy of himself. [7] God made them male and female. See the chapter |
“Has anything this great ever happened before? Never! Look at the past. Think about all the things that happened before you were born.

The fathers or brothers of those young women will come and complain to us. But we will say, ‘Be kind to the men of Benjamin. Let them marry those women. They took women from you, but they did not make war against you. They took the women, so you didn’t break your promise to God. You promised that you would not give them women to marry—you did not give the women to the men of Benjamin, they took the women from you! So you did not break your promise.’”
