Geneva Study Bible

And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

Wesley's Notes

21:11 Hast a desire unto her - Or, hast taken delight in her: which may be a modest expression for lying with her, and seems probable, because it is said, De 21:14, that he had humbled her. And here seem to be two cases supposed, and direction given what to do in both of them, that he did desire to marry her, of which he speaks, De 21:11 - 13. that he did not desire this, of which he speaks, De 21:14.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

21:10-14 By this law a soldier was allowed to marry his captive, if he pleased. This might take place upon some occasions; but the law does not show any approval of it. It also intimates how binding the laws of justice and honour are in marriage; which is a sacred engagement.


Deuteronomy 21:10 "When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take them away captive,
Deuteronomy 21:12 then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and trim her nails. (NASB ©1995)
