Numbers 31:14-18
New International Version
14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army(A)—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle.
15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice(B) and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident,(C) so that a plague(D) struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,(E) 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
Numbers 31:14-18
New American Standard Bible
14 But 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 And Moses said to them, “Have you [a]spared (A)all the women? 16 (B)Behold, they caused the sons of Israel, through the [b]counsel of (C)Balaam, to be unfaithful to the Lord in the matter of Peor, so that the plague took place among the congregation of the Lord! 17 (D)Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man [c]intimately. 18 However, all the [d]girls who have not known a [e]man intimately, keep alive for yourselves.
