Deuteronomy 21:13

21:13 discard the clothing she was wearing when captured, ³  and stay ⁴  in your house, lamenting for her father and mother for a full month. After that you may have sexual relations ⁵  with her and become her husband and she your wife.

¹ tn The imperative here means, literally, “regard as heavy” (כַּבֵּד, kabbed). The meaning is that great importance must be ascribed to parents by their children.

² tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

³ tn Heb “she is to…remove the clothing of her captivity” (cf. NASB); NRSV “discard her captive’s garb.”

⁴ tn Heb “sit”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “remain.”

⁵ tn Heb “go unto,” a common Hebrew euphemism for sexual relations.
