Numbers 31:9-20

[9] And the children  of Israel  took all the women  of Midian  captives,  and their little ones,  and took the spoil  of all their cattle,  and all their flocks,  and all their goods.  [10] And they burnt  all their cities  wherein they dwelt,  and all their goodly castles,  with fire.  [11] And they took  all the spoil,  and all the prey,  both of men  and of beasts.  [12] And they brought  the captives,  and the prey,  and the spoil,  unto Moses,  and Eleazar  the priest,  and unto the congregation  of the children  of Israel,  unto the camp  at the plains  of Moab,  which are by Jordan  near Jericho.  [13] And Moses,  and Eleazar  the priest,  and all the princes  of the congregation,  went forth  to meet  them without  the camp.  [14] And Moses  was wroth  with the officers  of the host,  with the captains  over thousands,  and captains  over hundreds,  which came  from  the battle.  [15] And Moses  said  unto them, Have ye saved  all the women  alive?  [16] Behold, these  caused  the children  of Israel,  through the counsel  of Balaam,  to commit  trespass  against the LORD  in the matter  of Peor,  and there was a plague  among the congregation  of the LORD.  [17] Now therefore kill  every male  among the little ones,  and kill  every woman  that hath known  man  by lying  with him.  [18] But all the women  children,  that have not known  a man  by lying  with him, keep alive  for yourselves. [19] And do ye abide  without  the camp  seven  days:  whosoever hath killed  any person,  and whosoever hath touched  any slain,  purify  both yourselves and your captives  on the third  day,  and on the seventh  day.  [20] And purify  all your raiment,  and all that is made  of skins,  and all work  of goats'  hair, and all things made  of wood.
