 * keep alive for yourselves.
   It has been groundlessly asserted, that Moses here authorised
   the Israelites to make concubines of the whole number of
   female children; and an insidious objection against his
   writings has been grounded upon this monstrous supposition.
   But the whole tenor of the law, and especially a statute
   recorded in De 21:10-14, proves most decisively to the
   contrary.  They were merely permitted to possess them as
   female slaves, educating them in their families, and employing
   them as domestics; for the laws concerning fornication,
   concubinage, and marriage, were in full force, and prohibited
   an Israelite even from marrying a captive, without delays and
   previous formalities; and if he afterwards divorced her, he
   was to set here at liberty, "because he had humbled her."
