7 They will declare, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood; our eyes did not see it.
8 Lord, forgive Your people Israel You redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.’ Then they will be absolved of responsibility for bloodshed.
9 You must purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, for you will be doing what is right in the Lord’s sight.
10 “When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God hands them over to you and you take some of them prisoner, and
11 if you see a beautiful woman among the captives, desire her, and want to take her as your wife,
12 you are to bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,
13 remove the clothes she was wearing when she was taken prisoner, live in your house, and mourn for her father and mother a full month. After that, you may have sexual relations with her and be her husband, and she will be your wife.
