Numbers 31:14-18
Legacy Standard Bible
14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war. 15 So Moses said to them, “Have you [a]spared (A)all the women? 16 (B)Behold, these [b]caused the sons of Israel, through the word of (C)Balaam, to [c]act unfaithfully against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh. 17 (D)So now, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man [d]intimately. 18 But all the [e]girls who have not known man [f]intimately, [g]spare for yourselves.
