A Christian Offers his Explanation for Numbers 31:17-17

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. [Numbers 31:17-18 (King James Version)]

A Christian sent me his explanation of this passage in his Bible. Here is his explanation:

The reason why God would have the male children put to death is because of his desire to make sure to wipe out all the posterity that these particular Moabites/Midianites would have had, had their male children been permitted to live. In other words, part of God’s judgment upon these men was to completely wipe out their name from under the sun, from the face of the earth, which meant the complete destruction of any possibilty of them having descendants who would continue their name. This could only be done by destroying all their male heirs.

I'm not too sure what Christians and Muslims think about this explanation.

Here is an explanation that a Christian did present which seemed to be confusing:

I think this is a Biblical passage which is causing many Christians some difficulties. Feel free to email any further thoughts to me. Thanks

NOTE: The Christian who passed me this explanation wants to add to his explanation, here is what he wants to add:

Hope you don't mind if I add some more of my comments here.

Now unlike the male children, the virgins who were spared would have been thoroughly integrated into Israelite society and would EVENTUALLY be married off to Israelite men when they had reached a ripe old age which would allow for them to get married.


[The Christian also offered link in which it argues the age of consent for a girl is puberty according to the Bible]

Jesus taught people to do the Will of God (according to Mark 3:35) in order to become his brothers, mothers or sisters. A Muslim means one who submits to the Will of God. Do you want to become a brother of Jesus? If yes, become a Muslim. Now is the time.

Hi Sam,

I've added the little addition you presented to the main body of the post.

Of course the link was rejected but it was summarised in parenthesis.

As for your question, thanks for asking the question. You can see your question answered here:

http://www.call-to-monotheism.com/evidence_that_islam_teaches_that_there_was_textual_corruption_of_the_christian_and_jewish_scriptures


As for the rest of the comments, it appears that the rest of what you wrote is directed to another Muslim. Email it to him, I'm sure he will address you.

May Allah guide you.



Peace

@Sam

Please stop with the insults. Your links shall not be allowed on this site. This is not a site for you to spam to material that I have little or no interest in reading.

Please don't insult Bassam Zawadi's material - the brother is scholarly and gentleman-like. I respect him and so do other folk who care about scholarship. You seem to have a negative attitude to him and Dr Shabir while Christians actually respect them.

As for the other material, again I'm not interested at the moment for two reasons:

1. I am NOT making any claims on the Bible passage - I'm simply posting the explanation you offered (you can quite clearly see I have made NO judgement on the Biblical passage).

2. You addressing Sami Zatarri, contact him and I'm sure he will respond to any questions you have.

I don't have time to babysit this message board. I have finished work and must rush to the mosque for the evening prayer.

Peace
