Biblical Verse: Judges 21:19-2319 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come... ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.Artists: Drawn by Hoet and engraved by SluiterMedium: engraving on laid paper Size (plate): approx. 13.5 x 8.5” (34 x 21cm); margins vary Condition: age toning Taken from: Scenes of the Main Histories of the Old and New Testaments, and other books, joined by the Sacred Scriptures, by the Distinguished Artists Hoet, Houbraken, and Picart… [Taferelen der Voornaamste Geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament, en Andere Boeken, bij de Heilige Schrift Gevoegt, door de vermaarde kunstenaars Hoet, Houbraken, en Picart getekent...] Place Published: The Hague [In's Graavenhaage] Publisher: Pieter de Hondt Date Published: 1728 Captions in Hebrew/Greek, English, German, Latin, French and Dutch
