Judges 21:5 CPDV

³  'Why, O Lord, God of Israel, has this evil happened among your people, so that this day one tribe would be taken away from us?'

⁴  Then, rising at first light on the next day, they built an altar. And they offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings there, and they said,

⁵  'Who, out of all the tribes of Israel, did not ascend with the army of the Lord?' For they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were at Mizpah, that whoever was not present would be slain.

⁶  And the sons of Israel, having been led to repentance over their brother Benjamin, began to say: 'One tribe has been taken away from Israel.

⁷  From where shall they receive wives? For we have all sworn in common that we will not give our daughters to them.'
