Numbers 31:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ “Did you keep all the women alive?” Moses asked them. ¹⁶ “Look! These women were the same ones who were counseled by Balaam to cause the Israelis to commit a grievous sin against the Lord at Peor. As a result, that plague infected the Lord’s community. ¹⁷ You are to kill every male child^[a] and every woman who has had sexual relations with a man.^[b]
