신명기 21:10의 Essay
כִּֽי־תֵצֵ֥א לַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה עַל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ וּנְתָנ֞וֹ יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ בְּיָדֶ֖ךָ וְשָׁבִ֥יתָ שִׁבְיֽוֹ׃
네가 나가서 대적과 싸움함을 당하여 네 하나님 여호와께서 그들을 네 손에 붙이시므로 네가 그들을 사로잡은 후에
The Five Books of Moses, by Everett Fox
The situation of the female captive recalls the opening chapters of the Iliad, where it forms a key motif. Here, though, rather than the pride and anger of great warriors being at stake, it is the woman’s humanity that is central. She is allowed to mourn her family, and retains her dignity to the extent that she cannot be sold as a slave if her husband eventually rejects her.
