Numbers 31:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ Look, ^(A)these women caused the children of Israel, through the ^(B)counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the incident of Peor, and ^(C)there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. ¹⁷ Now therefore, ^(D)kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. ¹⁸ But keep alive ^(E)for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately.
