Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them,‘ Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath.’”

他们的父亲或是弟兄若来与我们争竞，我们就说：‘求你们看我们的情面，施恩给这些人，因我们在争战的时候没有给他们留下女子为妻。这也不是你们将女子给他们的；若是你们给的，就算有罪。’”

他们的父亲或兄弟若来与我们争论，我们就对他们说：‘请看我们的情面恩待这些人吧！因为我们在战争的时候没有给他们任何人留下女子为妻。这次也不是你们给他们的，若是你们给的，就算有罪了。’”

他们的父亲或兄弟若来与我们争论，我们就对他们说：‘请看我们的情面恩待这些人吧！因为我们在战争的时候没有给他们任何人留下女子为妻。这次也不是你们给他们的，若是你们给的，就算有罪了。’”

倘若她们的父亲或弟兄前来抱怨，我们会说，‘求你们恩待我们，因为我们从战场上带回的女子不够分给他们做妻子。何况又不是你们把女儿嫁给他们的，所以罪不在你们。’”

如果她们的父亲或是兄弟来与我们争论，我们就对他们说：‘求你们恩待他们吧，因为我们在战场上没有给他们留下女子作妻子，而且这次又不是你们把女儿给他们；若是你们给的，你们就有罪了。’”

他們的父親或是弟兄若來與我們爭競，我們就說：『求你們看我們的情面，施恩給這些人，因我們在爭戰的時候沒有給他們留下女子為妻。這也不是你們將女子給他們的；若是你們給的，就算有罪。』」

如果她們的父親或是兄弟來與我們爭論，我們就對他們說：‘求你們恩待他們吧，因為我們在戰場上沒有給他們留下女子作妻子，而且這次又不是你們把女兒給他們；若是你們給的，你們就有罪了。’”

他們的父親和弟兄若來和我們爭論，我們就對他們說：「求你們看我們的情面恩赦這些人在戰場上各娶其妻；況且又不是你們將女子給了他們的；若是你們給的，你們就有罪責了。」』

如其父兄赴愬於我、我則曰、請爾施恩、以之予我、蓋昔戰時、我不留女以為其妻、今亦非爾所妻、若然、則為有罪、

其父兄就我以告、我必曰、請爾施恩於眾、昔戰鬥之時、我不遺女為其妻、今彼得女、非爾所與、故爾無辜。

如其父兄就我儕而爭論、我儕則曰、求爾為我施恩於彼、昔我儕與彼戰時、不留女為其妻、或作昔我儕徵伐基列之雅比不為便雅憫各人得妻求爾以女予我況爾非自以女予之、不至有罪、

When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them,‘ Do us the favor of helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war. You will not be guilty of breaking your oath because you did not give your daughters to them.’”

Their fathers or brothers might not be happy with what we’re doing. If they aren’t, we’ll say to them,‘ Do us a favor. Help the men of Benjamin. We didn’t get wives for them during the battle. You aren’t guilty of doing anything wrong. After all, you didn’t give your daughters to them. Your daughters were stolen from you.’ ”

And when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, we will say to them,‘ Grant them graciously to us, because we did not take for each man of them his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.’”

And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them,‘ Please be sympathetic. Let them have your daughters, for we didn’t find wives for all of them when we destroyed Jabesh gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not actually give your daughters to them in marriage.’”

When their fathers or brothers come to us and protest, we will tell them,‘ Show favor to them, since we did not get enough wives for each of them in the battle. You didn’t actually give the women to them, so you are not guilty of breaking your oath.’”

And when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, we shall say to them,‘ Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, otherwise you would now be guilty.’ ”

And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them graciously unto us, because we took not for each man of them his wife in battle, neither did ye give them unto them, else would ye now be guilty.

When their fathers or brothers come to us and protest, we will tell them,‘ Show favor to them, since we did not get enough wives for each of them in the battle. You didn’t actually give the women to them, so you are not guilty of breaking your oath.’”

And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time,[ that] ye should be guilty.

When their fathers or brothers come and protest to us, we’ll say to them,“ Do us a favor and let them be, for we could not get each one a wife through battle. Don’t worry about breaking your oath! You would only be guilty if you had voluntarily given them wives.’”

It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them,‘ Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”

Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying,“ None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”

However, we cannot give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn an oath, saying,‘ Cursed be the one who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”

What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters as wives?”

On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark—

It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy, And afterward to reconsider his vows.

But from the beginning of the creation, God‘ made them male and female.’‘ For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

So Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead; and yet they had not found enough for them.

yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you— being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ—I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
