Verse 17 is found in chapter 21 of Judges. The elders seek a way to preserve the remaining Benjaminites without formally breaking the oath they had made. They propose allowing them to take women during a celebration at Shiloh. The solution reveals how religious structures can be manipulated to resolve a problem created by previous decisions. The narrative continues showing the absence of a central moral authority capable of stopping the cycle of violence.

Und sie sprachen: Die übrigen von Benjamin müssen ja ihr Erbe behalten, daß nicht ein Stamm ausgetilgt werde von Israel.
Y dijeron: La heredad de los que han escapado ha de ser lo que era de Benjamín, porque no sea una tribu raída de Israel.
Et ils dirent: Que les réchappés de Benjamin conservent leur héritage, afin qu'une tribu ne soit pas effacée d'Israël.
Poi dissero: Quelli che sono scampati possederanno ciò ch’era di Beniamino, e non sarà spenta una tribù d’Israele.
Disseram mais: Tenha Benjamim uma herança nos que restaram, e não seja destruída nenhuma tribo de Israel.
他們又說:「 便雅憫 逃脫的人應當有地業,免得 以色列 中的一個支派被塗去。
