"And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was 675,000 sheep, And 72,000 beeves, And 61,000 asses, And 32,000 persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him . . . of which the Lord's tribute was 32 persons. And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses." (Numbers 31:32-41)
Are there any priesthoods where this would still apply?No I'm serious..................

They were not intended as sex slaves or concubines.
They were under the protection of the high priest in order to prevent such abuse.
Remember that the priests mentioned in the OT were married, unlike Catholic priests.

Hey. come on - fair's fair. After a life of celibacy, are 32 virgins really enough? Anyway - that's Old Testament.
