Deuteronomy - 21:12 Meaning
“Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;”
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.
