Commentary on Numbers 31:14
Moses' anger against the officers for sparing Midianite women reveals the seriousness of the seduction that had caused Israel's plague. These women had 'caused the children of Israel...to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor' (verse 16), making their preservation dangerous. Moses' rebuke demonstrates that mercy toward God's enemies can constitute disobedience when God has commanded judgment. This difficult passage teaches that sometimes love for God requires executing His judgments without sentimental compromise.
