Judges 21:23 in Context — Judges 21
21 E estai atentos: e quando virdes sair as filhas de Siló a dançar em cirandas, vós saireis das vinhas, e arrebatareis cada um mulher para si das filhas de Siló, e vos ireis à terra de Benjamim:
22 E quando vierem os pais delas ou seus irmãos a nos exigirem, nós lhes diremos: Tende piedade de nós em lugar deles: pois que nós na guerra não tomamos mulheres para todos: que vós não as destes a eles, para que agora sejais culpáveis.
23 E os filhos de Benjamim o fizeram assim; pois tomaram mulheres conforme seu número, tomando das que dançavam; e indo logo, voltaram-se à sua herança, e reedificaram as cidades, e habitaram nelas.
24 Então os filhos de Israel se foram também dali, cada um à sua tribo e à sua família, saindo dali cada um à sua propriedade.
25 Nestes dias não havia rei em Israel; cada um fazia o que era correto diante de seus olhos.
