15 Moses said to them, “Have you ^zlet all the women live? 16 Behold, ^athese, ^bon Balaam’s advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the Lord in the incident of ^cPeor, and so ^dthe plague came among the congregation of the Lord. 17 Now therefore, ^ekill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. 18 But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him ^fkeep alive for yourselves.
