Numbers 31:17-18
King James Version (KJV)
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Deuteronomy 21:10-14 (New International Version)
Marrying a Captive Woman
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
The EIGHT TRADITIONAL FORMS OF MARRIAGE IN THE BIBLE, because it would be arrogant and contemptuous to GOD for corporate money grubbers to defy GOD!
1: Polygamous Marriage (lots of same-sex women married all together with one man, 1 Kings 11:3, CH 11:21 Rehoboam had eighteen wives and sixty concubines)
2: Leverite Marriage (bigamy with brother's heirless widow, (De 25:5))
3: A Man, A Woman, and Her Property (wife's slave, Gen. 16:1-6, Gen. 30:4-5)
4: A Man, One or More Wives, and some Sex Slave Concubines (Judges 19:1-30, David's son, Solomon, chose 700 wives and 300 concubines, totaling 1,000 women in 1 Kings 11:3)
5: A Male Soldier and a Female Prisoner of War (DT 21:10-14, NU 31:17-18, )
6: A Male Rapist and His Victim (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
7: A Male Slave and A Female Slave
8: Monogamous Heterosexual Marriage

If he/she/it were to write something it would be, like, Maxwell's equations, or E=MC^2, or Cogito Ergo Sum.
God is supposed to be smarter than the average bear.
I call phony.
