Deuteronomio 21:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 21:10

When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies
This refers to an arbitrary war, as Jarchi remarks, which they entered into of themselves, of choice, or through being provoked to it by their enemies; and not a war commanded by the Lord, as that against the seven nations of Canaan, and against Amalek; since there were to be no captives in that war, but all were to be destroyed:

and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands;
given them the victory over their enemies, so that they were obliged to surrender themselves to them prisoners of war:

and thou hast taken them captive,
or "led his or their captivity ^F2 captive"; led them captive who used to lead others, denoting their conquest of victorious nations; see a like phrase in ( Psalms 68:18 ) .

Deuteronomio 21:10 In-Context

8 Oh Señor
, perdona a tu pueblo Israel, al cual has redimido. No culpes a tu pueblo de asesinar a un inocente”. Así quedarán absueltos de la culpa por la sangre de esa persona.

9 Si sigues estas instrucciones, harás lo correcto a los ojos del Señor
y purificarás a tu comunidad de la culpa por homicidio.

10 Matrimonio con una prisionera de guerra
»Supongamos que sales a la guerra contra tus enemigos, y el Señor
tu Dios los entrega en tus manos, y tú tomas cautivos a algunos de ellos.

11 Y supongamos que, entre los cautivos, ves a una mujer hermosa a la cual te sientes atraído y deseas casarte con ella.

12 Si tal cosa sucediera, podrás llevarla a tu casa, donde ella tendrá que raparse la cabeza, cortarse las uñas
