And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.

The Israelites asked, “Who among all the tribes of Israel did not come to the assembly before the LORD?” For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah would surely be put to death.

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 what you are to do: Devote to destruction every male, as well as every female who has had relations with a man.”
