Judg 21:19-21 | MHM | STEP | v. 19–21 : The elders came up with a plan. There was a yearly festival to the Lord at Shiloh, where the young women would go out to dance in the fields. The Benjamites were told to hide in the vineyards and, when the girls came out to dance, each man was to seize a wife and take her home. This way, the Israelites could say they did not "give" their daughters, but the Benjamites still received wives (Judges 21:19-21 ).
