<< Numbers 31:18 >>
"But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves. (NASB ©1995)

Numbers 31:17 "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately.

Numbers 31:19 "And you, camp outside the camp seven days; whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves, you and your captives, on the third day and on the seventh day. (NASB ©1995)


But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

keep alive for yourselves. It has been groundlessly asserted, that Moses here authorised the Israelites to make concubines of the whole number of female children; and an insidious objection against his writings has been grounded upon this monstrous supposition. But the whole tenor of the law, and especially a stature recorded in De. 21:10-14, proves most decisively to the contrary. They were merely permitted to possess them as female slaves, educating them in their families, and employing them as domestics; for the laws concerning fornication, concubinage, and marriage, were in full force, and prohibited an Israelite even from marrying a captive, without delays and previous formalities; and if he afterwards divorced her, he was to set here at liberty, 'because he had humbled her.' Le 25:44 De 20:14 21:10-14 2Ch 28:8-10 Isa 14:2
