જેઓ બાકી રહેલા છે તેઓને લગ્ન કરવાને કોણ પત્નીઓ આપશે? કેમ કે આપણે ઈશ્વરની આગળ પ્રતિજ્ઞા લીધી છે કે તેઓને આપણી દીકરીઓ લગ્ન કરવા માટે આપીશું નહિ.”
हिन्दीन्यायियों २१:७
हमने जो यहोवा की शपथ खाकर कहा है, कि हम उनसे अपनी किसी बेटी का विवाह नहीं करेंगे, इसलिए बचे हुओं को स्त्रियाँ मिलने के लिये क्या करें?”

In context

5The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”

6The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.

7How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”

8They said, “What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.

9For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.
