That was Moses, during the invasion of what would become Palestine. In the sack of one of the TransJordan cities, the soldiers brought back captives for slaves. Moses ordered the death of all males and all non-virgin females. Virgin girls could be kept as marriageable women, so long as they would obey Isreali law.
One of the darker moments in the history of Isreal, IMHO. The story appears near the end of Exodus, I believe, as the conquest of Isreal is beginning, and just before the death of Moses.

I BELIEVE THE BIBLE
I believe the bible is fact, is truth, it is exact,
That violence did last, to end with Noah in an ark,
It is meant to tell us how evil does rule to death,
From Abraham, to Lot and Job, see land pirate acts.
Also Sodom and Gomorrah not even ten for a land law,
God's angels aren't safe to visit lawlessness so raw,
They merely survive as nomads upon land pirates soil,
Until all 70 in family, end up in Egyptian's turmoil.
At the time of Moses,all infant males are to be slain,
His parents come up with a plan that works to save him,
By the time he is age 80, Pharoah has no heir to reign,
Guess he learned how it felt, when he was killing them.
Noah in ark year 1656, now 857 years later heirs flee,
At 897 years, the land pirates land, is all they see,
They are to destroy 7 nations & Promised Land is free,
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses & Joshua be.
A Priest line, a king line, the judges, all are family,
From the 12 tribes of Jacob, past 4 generations to see,
Judges 11:26; 301 years is 1198, land not trouble free,
Now Eli, Samuel, Saul to king David who brings peace.
So heir Solomon at 1Ki.6:1;480 years a temple to be,
He had 36 years to die 1413 after Noah, and 997 BCE
The 18 Judah kings end in 391 years, no temple to see,
All land is desolate and captive to Babylon Empire #3,
At 1804 years after Noah, All rebuilt by Cyrus decree,
Past 1874. Daniel 633-533, O.T. 39 books, done 443 BCE
Soon the owner of the universe amid land pirates to see,
A simple man named Jesus has no freedom here in speach.
All that he owns is clamed by Satan, Romans and priest,
He is crucified, resurrected & ascends to God's presents,
To wait until Satan & 1/3 angels cast down as enemies,
Prepares place for raised & caught up at last day as his.
To be with him at his coming and he reigns 1000 years,
The heavenly resurrects those earthly to have no tears,
All is made new & perfect & the perfect have no fears,
A new heaven & new earth is paradise, all forever his.
Be assured any thing taken from the land pirates, they tried it first.

because of the fact God is a only decide. The Midianites had tempted the Israelites to idolatry and against God, corrupting the Israelites. "The abominable nature of the impression which the Midianites had upon Israel in best them into idolatry merited the detrimental judgment of God. the ethical justification for this action is discovered interior the actuality that God has the splendid to furnish and take existence. because of the fact the wages of sin is dying, and the Midianites engaged in a bad sin, they justly reaped the implications of God’s vengeance" against sin. there became no "reforming" of the Midianites.

It were the *married* women who had caused the trouble in the Baal Peor incident,so obviously the unmarried women would not be killed.
They weren't taken as sex-slaves,if that's what you are implying...

You are asking the question outside any context. You need to look the passage up and see the context.

No. God did... in Exodus, after he delivers the 10 Commandments to Israel.

I don't think either one of them said that. In fact, I don't think anyone in the Bible said that. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
