7 and say, ‘We did not murder this one, and we do not know who did it.
8 Lord, forgive your people Israel, whom you rescued from Egypt. Forgive us and do not hold us responsible for the murder of an innocent person.’
9 And so, by doing what the Lord requires, you will not be held responsible for the murder.
10 “When the Lord your God gives you victory in battle and you take prisoners,
11 you may see among them a beautiful woman that you like and want to marry.
12 Take her to your home, where she will shave her head, cut her fingernails,
13 and change her clothes. She is to stay in your home and mourn for her parents for a month; after that, you may marry her.
