Sure
“When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife.”
- Deuteronomy 21:10-11 NIV (2011)

He saw her beauty, even in the half-light, she could tell, but he looked past it. Either that, or he was smart enough to see that she wanted to offer more to the world than a pretty face.

This Skincare Treats Outer & Inner Beauty with Ayurvedic Philosophy & Science
Did you know that Ayurveda is 9th with more than 5 and a half million Google searches out of the 20 most popular alternative medicines?

"Andromeda, Unexpected" [photo credit: Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner and Yann Sainty]
The winners of the Royal Observatory Greenwich Annual Astrophotography Competition were announced in Sept 2023.
This year's overall top spot came from the Galaxies category—"Andromeda, Unexpected", titled for the large, blue plasma arc pictured next to our nearest galactic neighbor. The plasma streak is actually a new discovery and is now being studied by scientists as perhaps one of the largest phenomenon of its type anywhere in the known universe.
Winners in other categories include:
Moon, winner: shows Mars setting behind the Moon's southern hemisphere, shining bright during a rare alignment [credit: Ethan Chappel]
Moon, runner up: the colourful hue that surrounds the moon is a lunar corona formed while bright moonlight is diffracted by water droplets in thin clouds [credit: Miguel Claro]

Best Young Astronomy Photographer: the Running Chicken Nebula [credit: Runwei Xu and Binyu Wang, both 14 years old]
Best Newcomer: Sh2-132 Nebula [credit: Aaron Wilhelm]
Skyscapes, winner: the extremely rare phenomena captured in this photograph are called sprites. Sprites occur like lightning, high in Earth's atmosphere, and are seldom witnessed from the ground. This photo was taken from an extremely high ridge in the Himalaya mountains of Tibet [credit: Angel An]
Skyscapes, runner up: time-lapse photography of star trails. The movement of the stars in the northern and southern hemispheres both appear to bend away from the stars moving along the celestial equator. [credit: Louis Leroux-Gere] {source: Space.com}
