¹⁶ “Behold, these caused the children of Israel (through the counsel of Balaam) to commit a trespass against the LORD as concerning Peor. And there came a plague among the Congregation of the LORD.

¹⁷ “Now, therefore, kill all the males among the children, and kill all the women that have known man by carnal copulation.

¹⁸ “But all the female children that have not known carnal copulation, keep alive for yourselves.
