Numbers 31:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.

¹⁷ Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who hath known a man by lying with him.

¹⁸ But all the women children, who have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
