베냐민 사람들에게 아내를 구해 주는 문제
21 이스라엘 사람들은 미스바에 다시 모여 자기들의 딸을 베냐민 사람에 게 시집보내지 않기로 맹세하였다.
2 그러고서 이스라엘 백성은 벧엘로 올라가 날이 저물 때까지 하나님 앞에 앉아 소리 높여 통곡하며
3 “이스라엘의 하나님 여호와여, 어쩌다가 이스라엘에 이런 일이 일어났습니까? 한 지파가 이스라엘에서 빠져나가야 하겠습니까?” 하고 부르짖었다.
4 그들은 다음날 아침 일찍 일어나 거기에 한 제단을 쌓고 번제와 화목제를 드렸다.
5 그러고서 그들은 “이스라엘 모든 지파 가운데서 여호와 앞에 모이지 않은 자가 누구냐?” 하고 서로 물었다. 이것은 그들이 미스바에 와서 여호와 앞에 모이지 않는 자는 누구든지 죽이기로 맹세하였기 때문이었다.
6 이스라엘 사람들은 그 형제 베냐민 사람들에 대해 마음 아프게 생각하며 이렇게 말하였다. “이제 이스라엘은 한 지파를 잃었다.
7 우리가 우리 딸을 그들에게 시집보내지 않기로 여호와께 맹세하였으니 어떻게 하면 우리가 그 남은 자들에게 아내를 구해 줄 수 있겠는가?”
8 그들은 이스라엘 지파 가운데 미스바로 올라와서 여호와 앞에 모이지 않은 자가 누구인지 물어 보고 길르앗의 야베스에서는 한 사람도 오지 않은 것을 알게 되었다.
9 그들이 인원을 점검했을 때 야베스 사람은 하나도 없었다.
10-11 그래서 이스라엘 사람들은 용감한 군 인 12,000명을 길르앗의 야베스로 보내며 말하였다. “너희는 가서 야베스 주민을 칼로 쳐서 처녀가 아닌 사람은 어린 아이까지 모조리 죽여라.”
12 그래서 그들은 야베스 주민 중에 남자와 한 번도 잠자리를 같이하지 않은 처녀 400명을 찾아 가나안 땅에 있는 실로의 진지로 데려왔다.
13 그때 이스라엘 사람들은 림몬 바위에 숨어 있는 베냐민 사람들에게 사신을 보내 평화를 제의하였다.
14 그러자 베냐민 사람들이 자기들의 성으로 돌아왔다. 그래서 이스라엘 사람들은 길르앗의 야베스에서 데려온 처녀들을 그들에게 주었는데 그래도 여자가 부족하였다.
15 여호와께서 이스라엘 지파 가운데 한 지파가 빠져나가게 하셨으므로 이스라엘 백성은 베냐민 사람들을 생각하며 몹시 마음 아파하였다.
16 그때 이스라엘의 지도자들이 이렇게 말하였다. “베냐민 지파의 여자들이 다 죽었으니 이제 우리가 어떻게 하면 살아 남은 자들에게 아내를 구해 줄 수 있겠는가?
17 이스라엘의 한 지파가 영원히 사라지지 않도록 하기 위해서는 우리가 어떻게 해서든지 살아 남은 베냐민 사람들에게 [a]자식을 갖도록 해 주어야 한다.
18 그러나 우리 이스라엘 사람이 누구든지 자기 딸을 베냐민 사람에게 시집보내는 자는 저주를 받을 것이라고 맹세까지 하였으니 우리 딸을 그들의 아내로 줄 수도 없다.”
19 그러자 한 사람이 “실로에서 매년 지키는 여호와의 명절이 곧 돌아오지 않는가!” 하고 외쳤다. 실로는 벧엘 북쪽에 있고 르보나 남쪽에 있으며 벧엘에서 세겜으로 가는 큰 길 동쪽에 위치한 곳이었다.
20-21 그러고서 그들은 남은 베냐민 사람들 에게 이렇게 말하였다. “너희는 가서 포도원에 숨어서 살피고 있다가 실로의 여자들이 춤을 추러 나오면 즉시 포도원에서 뛰어나와 그들을 하나씩 붙들어라. 그리고 그들을 너희 땅으로 데리고 가서 아내로 삼아라.
22 만일 그들의 부모와 형제들이 우리에게 항의하면 우리는 그들에게 ‘너희는 아량을 베풀어 그들이 너희 딸을 아내로 삼게 하라. 우리가 전쟁 중에 그들에게 아내를 구해 주지 못하였다. 너희가 직접 너희 딸을 그들에게 준 것이 아니므로 너희에게는 아무 잘못이 없다’ 라고 말하겠다.”
23 그래서 베냐민 사람들은 그들이 말한 대로 가서 각자 춤추는 여자들을 하나씩 붙들어 자기 땅으로 돌아가 성들을 재건하고 거기서 살았다.
24 그리고 이스라엘 사람들도 그 곳을 떠나 각자 자기 집으로 돌아갔다.
25 이 당시에는 이스라엘에 왕이 없었으므로 사람마다 자기 생각에 좋을 대로 하였다.

Wives for the Benjamites
21 The men of Israel had taken an oath(A) at Mizpah:(B) “Not one of us will give(C) his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite.”
2 The people went to Bethel,[a] where they sat before God until evening, raising their voices and weeping bitterly. 3 “Lord, God of Israel,” they cried, “why has this happened to Israel? Why should one tribe be missing(D) from Israel today?”
4 Early the next day the people built an altar and presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.(E)
5 Then the Israelites asked, “Who from all the tribes of Israel(F) has failed to assemble before the Lord?” For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to assemble before the Lord at Mizpah was to be put to death.
6 Now the Israelites grieved for the tribe of Benjamin, their fellow Israelites. “Today one tribe is cut off from Israel,” they said. 7 “How can we provide wives for those who are left, since we have taken an oath(G) by the Lord not to give them any of our daughters in marriage?” 8 Then they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to assemble before the Lord at Mizpah?” They discovered that no one from Jabesh Gilead(H) had come to the camp for the assembly. 9 For when they counted the people, they found that none of the people of Jabesh Gilead were there.
10 So the assembly sent twelve thousand fighting men with instructions to go to Jabesh Gilead and put to the sword those living there, including the women and children. 11 “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Kill every male(I) and every woman who is not a virgin.(J)” 12 They found among the people living in Jabesh Gilead four hundred young women who had never slept with a man, and they took them to the camp at Shiloh(K) in Canaan.
13 Then the whole assembly sent an offer of peace(L) to the Benjamites at the rock of Rimmon.(M) 14 So the Benjamites returned at that time and were given the women of Jabesh Gilead who had been spared. But there were not enough for all of them.
15 The people grieved for Benjamin,(N) because the Lord had made a gap in the tribes of Israel. 16 And the elders of the assembly said, “With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left? 17 The Benjamite survivors must have heirs,” they said, “so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.(O) 18 We can’t give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath:(P) ‘Cursed be anyone who gives(Q) a wife to a Benjamite.’ 19 But look, there is the annual festival of the Lord in Shiloh,(R) which lies north of Bethel(S), east of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem,(T) and south of Lebonah.”
20 So they instructed the Benjamites, saying, “Go and hide in the vineyards 21 and watch. When the young women of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing,(U) rush from the vineyards and each of you seize one of them to be your wife. Then return to the land of Benjamin. 22 When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Do us the favor of helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war. You will not be guilty of breaking your oath because you did not give(V) your daughters to them.’”
23 So that is what the Benjamites did. While the young women were dancing,(W) each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance(X) and rebuilt the towns and settled in them.(Y)
24 At that time the Israelites left that place and went home to their tribes and clans, each to his own inheritance.
25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.(Z)

Judges 21
King James Version
Judges 21
King James Version
21 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
2 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
3 And said, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
7 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?
8 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 Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead 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.
13 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.
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
