Numbers 31:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and turned the Israelites from the Lord at Peor. Then a terrible sickness struck the Lord’s people. ¹⁷ Kill all the Midianite boys, and kill all the Midianite women who have had sexual relations. ¹⁸ But save for yourselves the girls who have not had sexual relations with a man.
