King James Version with Apocrypha
"And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man."
— Judges 21:11, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.”
“And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. ”
“This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man."”
“Do this: exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has experienced a man’s bed. But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed.”
“And this is what you shall observe: Every male, and all women that have known men, you shall kill, but the virgins you shall save.”
“And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.”
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the Lord? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh–gilead to the assembly.
For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead there.
And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh–gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
