And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt,
and all their castles with fire. And they took all the spoil and
all they could catch, both of men and beasts. And they brought the
captives and that which they had taken and all the spoil unto
Moses and Eleazer the priest and unto the company of the children
of Israel, even unto the host, in the fields of Moab by Iordan nye
to Iericho. And Moses and Eleazer the priest and all the lords of
the congregation went out of the host against them. And Moses was
angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over
thousands and over hundreds, which came from war and battle, and
said unto them: Have ye saved the women alive? behold, these
caused the children of Israel thorow Balam, to commit trespass
against the LORD, by the reason of Peor, and there followed a
plague among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore slay all
the men children and the women that have lien with men fleshly:
But all the women children that have not lien with men, keep alive
for your selves. And lodge without the host seven days all that
have killed any person and all that have twiched any dead body,
and purify both your selves and your prisoners the third day and
the seventh.
