Numbers 31:17 in Context — Numbers 31

15 E disse-lhes Moisés: Todas as mulheres preservastes?

16 Eis que elas foram aos filhos de Israel, por conselho de Balaão, para causar transgressão contra o SENHOR no negócio de Peor; pelo que houve mortandade na congregação do SENHOR.

17 Matai, pois, agora todos os machos entre as crianças: matai também toda mulher que tenha conhecido homem carnalmente.

18 E todas as meninas entre as mulheres, que não tenham conhecido ajuntamento de homem, vos preservareis vivas.

19 E vós ficai fora do acampamento sete dias: e todos os que houverem matado pessoa, e qualquer um que houver tocado morto, vos purificareis ao terceiro e ao sétimo dia, vós e vossos cativos.
