CLV(i)
7 They rallied against the Midian just as Yahweh had instructed Moses, and they killed every male.
8 As for the kings of Midian, they killed them along with their men wounded to death:Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba, five kings of Midian. Also Balaam son of Beor they killed with the sword.
9 The sons of Israel captured the women of Midian and their little ones; they plundered all their beasts, all their cattle and all their estate.
10 All their walled cities with their dwellings and all their nomadic domiciles they burned with fire.
11 They took all the loot and all the booty, including human and beast.
12 Then they brought the captives and the booty and the loot, to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, at the camp, on the plains of Moab which are along the Jordan across from Jericho.
13 Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the congregation went forth to meet them outside the camp.
14 Moses was wrathful with the officers of the army, chiefs of the thousands and chiefs of the hundreds, coming back from the militia host of the war.
15 And Moses said to them:You have kept every female alive?
16 Behold, they, by the word of Balaam, came to be for the sons of Israel the reason for a withdrawal from and an offense against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so that the stroke came to be in the congregation of Yahweh.
17 And now, kill every male among the little ones, and every woman having known a man (at bed with a male), kill.
18 Yet every little one among the womenfolk who have not known bed with a male keep alive for yourselves.
