Numbers 31:15-17

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

16 3Behold, they caused the sons of Israel, through the 4counsel of 5Balaam, to be unfaithful to the Lord in the matter of Peor, so that the plague took place among the congregation of the Lord!

17 6Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man 7intimately.
