Numbers 31:18
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
In context
16 “Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
17 So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
18 but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
19 All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.
20 And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
