14 Y enojóse Moisés contra los capitanes del ejército, [contra] los tribunos y centuriones que volvían de la guerra;
15 Y díjoles Moisés: ¿Todas las mujeres habéis reservado?
16 He aquí ellas fueron á los hijos de Israel, por consejo de Balaam, para causar prevaricación contra Jehová en el negocio de Peor; por lo que hubo mortandad en la congregación de Jehová.
17 Matad pues ahora todos los varones entre los niños: matad también toda mujer que haya conocido varón carnalmente.
18 Y todas las niñas entre las mujeres, que no hayan conocido ayuntamiento de varón, os reservaréis vivas.
