Judges 21:5-11 And the ⌊Israelites⌋* said, "Who in the assembly has not come up from all the tribes of Israel to Yahweh?" For a solemn oath was taken concerning whoever did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah, saying, "He will certainly be put to death."

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* said, "Who in the assembly has not come up from all the tribes of Israel to Yahweh?" For a solemn oath was taken concerning whoever did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah, saying, "He will certainly be put to death." ⁶ But the _⌊Israelites_⌋* had compassion for Benjamin, their relatives,* and they said, "Today one tribe is cut off from Israel. ⁷ What will we do for them—for the ones being left over—for wives? For we have sworn by Yahweh not to give to them our daughters as wives." ⁸ They asked, "Which one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah?" And behold, no one came from Jabesh-gilead to the camp, to the assembly. ⁹ The people were counted, and no one was there from the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead. ¹⁰ And the congregation sent there twelve thousand men from the troops, and they commanded them, saying, "Go, strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with _⌊the edge of the sword_⌋,* and the women and children. ¹¹ This is the thing you will do: _⌊you will destroy_⌋* every man and _⌊every woman who had sex with a man_⌋."*
