Deuteronomy 21:11 in Context — Deuteronomy 21

9 Ainsi, tu dois faire disparaître du milieu de toi le sang innocent, en faisant ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel.

10 Lorsque tu iras à la guerre contre tes ennemis, si l’Éternel les livre entre tes mains, et que tu leur fasses des prisonniers,

11 peut-être verras-tu parmi les captives une femme belle de figure, et auras-tu le désir de la prendre pour femme.

12 Alors tu l’amèneras dans l’intérieur de ta maison. Elle se rasera la tête et se fera les ongles,

13 elle quittera les vêtements qu’elle portait quand elle a été prise, elle demeurera dans ta maison, et elle pleurera son père et sa mère pendant un mois. Après cela, tu iras vers elle, tu l’auras en ta possession, et elle sera ta femme.
