You haven't put a scratch on my argument. You've simply tried to shout it down.
Let me ask you the same question I asked our friend MJFlores.
Is it your view that no copulation followed when the men of Moses' army did as he commanded and divided the virgins between them? Or do you think, yes...
You made a rather slanderous accusation for which @MJFlores has continuously taken you to task, and this rightfully so. Both @1213 and @MJFlores have decimated your argument but you continuously insisted on inserting a rape narrative that was simply not there.
More on that later. Right now...

"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16)

Because the Bible was written by males in a backward, ignorant culture that treated women as little more than cattle. The bible reflects this by being an ignorant, backward text that treats women as little more than cattle.
I could be wrong but I think this passage has to do with Vows...these were voluntary obligations assumed before God, often to obtain some desired blessing.
In Genisis we see humanity ruined and in Exodus we see how humanity is redeemed and then in Leviticus it deals with humanity worshipping...
Can someone explain this passage in Leviticus?
27:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your valuation.
27:3 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to...
