Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.Moses tells the armies of Israel -- after slaying all the men -- that they should murder all male children and females who are not virgins. The virgin females may be kept as slaves.
