In context
7 Will say, This death is not the work of our hands and our eyes have not seen it.
8 Have mercy, O Lord, on your people Israel whom you have made free, and take away from your people the crime of a death without cause. Then they will no longer be responsible for the man's death.
9 So you will take away the crime of a death without cause from among you, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
10 When you go out to war against other nations, and the Lord your God gives them up into your hands and you take them as prisoners;
11 If among the prisoners you see a beautiful woman and it is your desire to make her your wife;
12 Then take her back to your house; and let her hair and her nails be cut;
13 And let her take off the dress in which she was made prisoner and go on living in your house and weeping for her father and mother for a full month: and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she will be your wife.
