Numbers 31:17-18

Oh you mean the part where *Moses* commanded them to kill the Satanic Worshipping women who had started sleeping with the men and basically caused a plague amon the army because it pissed God off? But spare the children and virgins (to take them as slaves which was a regular practice of conquerors)? It was commanded by Moses, your entire point rests on a foundation as firm as a slice of paper.

It is afterall, Moses giving this command is it not? Moses was a sinner too, Prophets and Patriarchs were not free from it, this is a basic Christian tenet. 

From the perspective of Moses, God has just cursed them for laying with a foreign peoples women who literally worship their arch-enemy, if you don't expect nothing less than a serious and maybe a little-overhanded response from Moses, than you under-estimate the rightful fear he had for the Lord.
