13 Then Moses and Eleazar the Priest, and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the campe to meete them. 14 And Moses was angry with the captaines of the hoste, with the captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, which came from the warre and battel. 15 And Moses sayde vnto them, What? haue ye saued all the women? 16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel through the counsell of Balaam to commit a trespasse against the Lorde, as concerning Peor, and there came a plague among the Congregation of the Lorde. 17 Now therefore, slay all the males among the children, and kill all the women that haue knowen man by carnall copulation. 18 But all the women children that haue not knowen carnall copulation, keepe aliue for your selues.
