17. Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.
18. But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
19. And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day.
20. And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified.
21. Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
22. Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
23. And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation:
24. And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
25. And the Lord said to Moses:
26. Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:
27. And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.
28. And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep.
