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

Verse 18 is found in chapter 31 of Numbers. Israel fights against Midian in fulfillment of the judgment previously announced. After the battle, regulations of purification are established for those who participated and for the objects obtained. The section combines war, judgment, and ritual purity, showing that even after a military victory the people must return to the requirements of holiness governing camp life.

aber alle Kinder, die weiblich sind und nicht Männer erkannt haben, die laßt für euch leben.
Y todas las niñas entre las mujeres, que no hayan conocido ayuntamiento de varón, os reservaréis vivas.
Pero conserven con vida para ustedes a todas las niñas que no hayan tenido relaciones sexuales con un varón.
mais laissez en vie pour vous toutes les filles qui n'ont point connu la couche d'un homme.
E serbatevi in vita tutte le femmine che son di piccola età, le quali non hanno conosciuto carnalmente uomo.
Porém, todas as meninas que não conheceram algum homem, deitando-se com ele, deixai-as viver para vós.
但那些未曾與男人同房共寢的女孩,你們可以讓她們存活。
