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.
Y cuando sus padres o hermanos vengan a nosotros a quejarse, les diremos: 'Por favor, tengan compasión de ellos por nosotros, porque no conseguimos una esposa para cada hombre durante la guerra. Y como ustedes no les dieron sus hijas voluntariamente, no serán culpables de romper su juramento.'
Los ancianos planearon justificar el rapto de las mujeres argumentando que no violaba el juramento porque no fueron entregadas voluntariamente.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse comes at the end of the tragic account of Israel's civil war against the tribe of Benjamin, which nearly led to Benjamin's extinction. The other tribes had sworn not to give their daughters in marriage to the surviving Benjamites, but they also didn't want Benjamin to completely disappear. This created a moral dilemma that led to desperate and questionable solutions.
