« Num 30Num 31Num 32 »

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 ¹spared ^aall the women? 16 ^aBehold, these ¹caused the sons of Israel, through the word of ^bBalaam, to ²act unfaithfully against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh. 17 ^aSo now, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man ¹intimately. 18 But all the ¹girls who have not known man ²intimately, ³spare for yourselves.
