16. “Look, they are the ones who caused the children of Yisra’ĕl, through the word of Bil‛am, to trespass against יהוה in the matter of Pe‛or, and there was a plague among the congregation of יהוה.
17. “And now, slay every male among the little ones. And every woman who has known a man by lying with a man you shall slay.
18. “But keep alive for yourselves all the female children who have not known a man by lying with a man.
