13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army¹--the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds--who returned from the battle. 15 "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. 16 "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice² and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor,³ so that a plague⁴ struck the LORD's people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,⁵ 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
