Answer 2

The Israelites were God's chosen people (Deuteronomy 4:7).

When they won a war against a heathen nation, if a woman had a beautiful figure and a man loved her, he could take her as a wife.

When the woman was taken home to the house of the man who loved her, she was to shave her head and cut her nails (see 2 Samuel 19:25); both were customary signs of purification (see Lev. 14:8 & Num. 8:7). these were symbolic of her passing from the state of a conqured slave to reception of fellowship in the covenant nation.
