Numbers 31:17 in Context — Numbers 31
15 Il leur dit: Avez-vous laissé la vie à toutes les femmes?
16 Voici, ce sont elles qui, sur la parole de Balaam, ont entraîné les enfants d’Israël à l’infidélité envers l’Éternel, dans l’affaire de Peor; et alors éclata la plaie dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel.
17 Maintenant, tuez tout mâle parmi les petits enfants, et tuez toute femme qui a connu un homme en couchant avec lui;
18 mais laissez en vie pour vous toutes les filles qui n’ont point connu la couche d’un homme.
19 Et vous, campez pendant sept jours hors du camp; tous ceux d’entre vous qui ont tué quelqu’un, et tous ceux qui ont touché un mort, se purifieront le troisième et le septième jour, eux et vos prisonniers.
