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?

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.
