Deuteronomy - 21:11 Meaning

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

King James Version (KJV)

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.

“They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.”
