How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?

World English Bible

How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by Yahweh that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?"

Whence shall they take wives? For we have all in general sworn, not to give our daughters to them.

SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:7

¿Qué haremos en cuanto a mujeres para los que han quedado? Nosotros hemos jurado por el SEÑOR que no les hemos de dar nuestras hijas por mujeres.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 21:7

Verse 7. How shall we do for
wives for them] From this it appears that they had destroyed all the Benjamitish women and children! They had set out with the purpose of exterminating the whole tribe, and therefore they massacred the women, that if any of the men escaped, they might neither find wife nor daughter; and they bound themselves under an oath not to give any of their females to any of the remnant of this tribe, that thus the whole tribe might utterly perish.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. How shall we do for
wives for them that remain , etc.] By which it seems, as well as by what is after related, that they knew of the six hundred men hid in the rock Rimmon: seeing we have sworn by the Lord ; by the Word of the Lord, as the Targum; and such an oath with them was a sacred thing, and to be kept inviolable, even to their own hurt: that we will not give them of our daughters to wives ; as in ( Judges 21:1) and therefore they must either marry among the Heathens, which was forbidden, or they must make void their oath, or the tribe in a little time would be extinct; these were difficulties they knew not how to surmount, and this was the object of their inquiry.

Matthew Henry Commentary

The Israelites lament for the Benjamites.

--Israel lamented for the Benjamites, and were perplexed by the oat they had taken, not to give their daughters to them in marriage. Me are more zealous to support their own authority than that of God. The would have acted better if they had repented of their rash oaths brought sin-offerings, and sought forgiveness in the appointed way rather than attempt to avoid the guilt of perjury by actions quite a wrong. That men can advise others to acts of treachery or violence, ou of a sense of duty, forms a strong proof of the blindness of the huma mind when left to itself, and of the fatal effects of a conscienc under ignorance and error __________________________________________________________________
