Numbers 31:15-18

15And Moses said to them, “Have you 1spared 2all the women?

163Behold, these 4caused the sons of Israel, through the 5counsel of 6Balaam, to 7trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of the Lord.

178Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man 9intimately.

18But all the 10girls who have not known man 11intimately, 12spare for yourselves.
