Moses Orders Further Execution and Purification

13

Then Moses and Eleazar the Priest, and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the campe to meete them.

14

And Moses was angry with the captaines of the hoste, with the captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, which came from the warre and battel.

15

And Moses sayde vnto them, What? haue ye saued all the women?

16

Behold, these caused the children of Israel through the counsell of Balaam to commit a trespasse against the Lord, as concerning Peor, and there came a plague among the Congregation of the Lord.

17

Now therefore, slay all the males among the children, and kill all the women that haue knowen man by carnall copulation.

18

But all the women children that haue not knowen carnall copulation, keepe aliue for your selues.

19

And ye shall remaine without the host seuen dayes, all that haue killed any person, and all that haue touched any dead, and purifie both your selues and your prisoners the third day and the seuenth.

20

Also ye shall purifie euery garment and all that is made of skins and al worke of goates heare, and all things made of wood.

21

And Eleazar ye Priest sayd vnto the men of warre, which went to the battel, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses,

22

As for gold, and siluer, brasse, yron, tynne, and lead:

23

Euen all that may abide the fire, yee shall make it goe through the fire, and it shalbe cleane: yet, it shalbe purified with the water of purification: and all that suffereth not the fire, yee shall cause to passe by the water.

24

Ye shall wash also your clothes the seuenth day, and ye shalbe cleane: and afterward ye shall come into the Hoste.
