10 You will go to war against your enemies. The Lord will help you defeat them. You will take them captive.
11 You might see a beautiful woman among the captives. And you might be attracted to her. You may take her as your wife.
12 Bring her into your home. She must shave her head and cut her nails.
13 She must change out of the clothes she was wearing when you captured her. And she must live in your house and cry for her parents for a month. After that, you may marry her. You will be her husband, and she will be your wife.
14 But you might not be pleased with her. Then let her go anywhere she wants. You must not sell her for money. You must not make her a slave. You have taken away her honor.
15 A man may have two wives. He might love one wife but not the other. Both wives might have sons by him. But the older son might be the son of the wife he does not love.
16 Someday that man must will his property to his sons. But he must not give the son of the wife he loves what belongs to the older son. The older son is the son of the wife the man does not love.
