Numbers 31:7-17
7And they warred against MidianH4080, as Jehovah commandedH6680 MosesH4872; and they slewH2026 every maleH2145. 8And they slewH2026 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080 with the rest of their slainH2026: EviH189, and RekemH7552, and ZurH6698, and HurH2354, and RebaH7254, the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080: BalaamH1109 also the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 they slewH2026 with the swordH2719. 9And the children of IsraelH3478 tookH7617 captiveH7617 the womenH802 of MidianH4080 and their littleH2945 onesH2945; and all their cattleH929, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they tookH7617 for a prey. 10And all their citiesH5892 in the placesH4186 wherein they dwelt, and all their encampmentsH2918, they burntH8313 with fireH784. 11And they tookH3947 all the spoilH7998, and all the prey, both of manH120 and of beast. 12And they broughtH935 the captivesH7628, and the prey, and the spoilH7998, unto MosesH4872, and unto EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and unto the congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478, unto the campH4264 at the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124, which are by the JordanH3383 at JerichoH3405.
13And MosesH4872, and EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and all the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712, wentH3318 forthH3318 to meet them without the campH4264. 14And MosesH4872 was wroth with the officers of the hostH6635, the captains of thousandsH505 and the captains of hundredsH3967, who cameH935 from the serviceH6635 of the warH4421. 15And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, Have ye saved all the women aliveH2421? 16Behold, these caused the children of IsraelH3478, through the counsel of BalaamH1109, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, and so the plagueH4046 wasH1961 among the congregationH5712 of Jehovah. 17NowH6258 thereforeH6258 killH2026 every maleH2145 among the littleH2945 onesH2945, and killH2026 every womanH802 that hath knownH3045 manH376 by lying with him.
