14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.

15And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah.

17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

18But all the women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

19And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.

20And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats` [hair], and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.
