Numbers 31

11  And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

12  And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

13  And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

14  And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.

15  And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

16  Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah.

17  Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

18  But all the women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

19  And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.

20  And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' `hair', and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.
