New Testament

Deuteronomy 21:8-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. Accept this payment for the sin of your people Israel. Lord, you have set your people free. Don't hold them guilty for spilling the blood of someone who hasn't done anything wrong." That will pay for the death of that person.

9. So you will get rid of the guilt of killing someone who didn't do anything wrong. That's because you have done what is right in the Lord's eyes.

10. Suppose you go to war against your enemies. And the Lord your God hands them over to you and you take them as prisoners.

11. Then you notice a beautiful woman among them. If you like her, you can get married to her.
