"And this shall be what you ought to do: “Every one of the male gender, as well as all the women who have known men, shall be put to death. But the virgins you shall reserve.” "
— Judges 21:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.”
“And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. ”
“This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man."”
“Do this: exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has experienced a man’s bed. But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed.”
“And this is what you shall observe: Every male, and all women that have known men, you shall kill, but the virgins you shall save.”
“And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.”
“And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.”
For this reason, they said, “Who is there, out of all the tribes of Israel, that did not ascend to the Lord at Mizpah?” And behold, the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead were found not to have been among that army.
(Likewise, in the time when they had been at Shiloh, not one of them was found to be there.)
And so they sent ten thousand very robust men, and they instructed them, saying, “Go and strike down the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, including their wives and little ones.”
And this shall be what you ought to do: “Every one of the male gender, as well as all the women who have known men, shall be put to death. But the virgins you shall reserve.”
And four hundred virgins, who had not known the bed of a man, were found from Jabesh-Gilead. And they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan.
And they sent messengers to the sons of Benjamin, who were at the rock of Rimmon, and they instructed them, so that they would receive them in peace.
And the sons of Benjamin went, at that time, and wives were given to them from the daughters of Jabesh-Gilead. But others were not found, whom they might give in a similar manner.
