Numbers 30 - 32 

Admittedly, the power given to a husband or father to nullify the vows of a wife or daughter doesn't sit well with me. I do like the fact that divorced women or widows stood for themselves. Our cultures are very different. 

Killing all the women and boys seems horrific to me. Also, saying that these women had followed Balaam's advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful in the Peor Incident, seems to have left some things out. As I recall, Balaam only blessed Israel according to the text. What is the rest of this story?
