Numbers 31:14-18
New King James Version
14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, who had come from the battle.
15 And Moses said to them: “Have you kept (A)all the women alive? 16 Look, (B)these women caused the children of Israel, through the (C)counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the incident of Peor, and (D)there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. 17 Now therefore, (E)kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. 18 But keep alive (F)for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately.

Numbers 31:14-18
Authorized (King James) Version
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. 15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? 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 that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
