13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went out to meet them outside the camp.
14 But Moses was angry toward the leaders of the troops, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, who came from the battle of the war.
15 And Moses said to them, “You have kept alive every female?
16 Behold, these women caused the Israelites, by the word of Balaam, to be in apostasy against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so that the plague was among the community of Yahweh.
17 Now kill every male among the little children, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man.
18 But all the females who have not had sexual intercourse with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
19 And you, camp outside the camp seven days; all who killed a person and all who touched the slain purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
