Deuteronomy

⁷And they shall testify, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. ⁸Forgive, O Lord, Your people Israel, whom You have redeemed, and do not allow the shedding of innocent blood to be charged to Your people Israel. And the guilt of blood shall be forgiven them. ⁹So shall you purge the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord. ¹⁰When you go forth to battle against your enemies and the Lord your God has given them into your hands and you carry them away captive, ¹¹And you see among the captives a beautiful woman and desire her, that you may have her as your wife, ¹²Then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and pare her nails [in purification from heathenism] ¹³And put off her prisoner's garb, and shall remain in your house and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.
