Judges 21:16-21

Then the elders
<02205>
of the congregation
<05712>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
How shall we do
<06213> (8799)
for wives
<0802>
for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,
seeing the women
<0802>
are destroyed
<08045> (8738)
out of Benjamin
<01144>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There must be] an inheritance
<03425>
for them that be escaped
<06413>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
that a tribe
<07626>
be not destroyed
<04229> (8735)
out of Israel
<03478>_.
Howbeit we may
<03201> (8799)
not give
<05414> (8800)
them wives
<0802>
of our daughters
<01323>_:
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
a wife
<0802>
to Benjamin
<01144>_.
Then they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [there is] a feast
<02282>
of the LORD
<03068>
in Shiloh
<07887>
yearly
<03117> <03117>
[in a place] which [is] on the north side
<06828>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
on the east side
<04217> <08121>
of the highway
<04546>
that goeth up
<05927> (8802)
from Bethel
<01008>
to Shechem
<07927>_,
and on the south
<05045>
of Lebonah
<03829>_.
{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {on the east...: or, toward the sunrising} {of the highway: or, on the highway}
Therefore they commanded
<06680> (8762)
the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and lie in wait
<0693> (8804)
in the vineyards
<03754>_;
And see
<07200> (8804)_,
and, behold, if the daughters
<01323>
of Shiloh
<07887>
come out
<03318> (8799)
to dance
<02342> (8800)
in dances
<04246>_,
then come ye out
<03318> (8804)
of the vineyards
<03754>_,
and catch
<02414> (8804)
you every man
<0376>
his wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Shiloh
<07887>_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
to the land
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_.
