"And MOSES said to them: "Have you kept all the women alive? Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the INCIDENT of PEOR, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD."

I think this means is some in the Moses camp contracted the clap and Moses blamed the women of Peor.

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately."

This was probably a controlled kill of males who might later avenge the deaths of their mother.

"But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately."

This is called sexual slavery.

What a friend we have in Moses, Jesus and Greg. You would think Moses would be a little more generous considering his history.

MOSES

---Of Levitic extraction, and born at a time when by kingly edict had been decreed the drowning of every new male offspring among the Israelites, the "goodly child" Moses, after three months' concealment, was exposed in a basket on the banks of the Nile.
