The Bible says that God wanted 32 virgins for himself, as a plunder from war,WHY?

Question

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Num.%2031:31-40

Answer 1

That is the number sacrificed to the "Loving God"

Answer 2

It also says that God walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.  He had a human body.  In that case... I'm guessing he wanted them for the same reason most guys would!

Answer 3

The NIV leaves out several words that appear in the KJV. The tribute was 32 personsnot 32 virgins.

My advice would be to read different versions of the book to get a better perspective. abridged versions don't have all the necessary words for clarity.

Answer 4

Maybe the immaculate conception procedure wasn't quite ready and he needed to do some testing.

Answer 5

You must be reading a different Bible than the one I read.

Answer 6

umn, i thought virgins are only in muslimanity ??

Answer 7

Because the Old Testament was written by Bronze-Age middle-Eastern tribesmen. Wake up, do you also still believe in Santa Claus?

Answer 8

You've already asked this and received several good answers.  Go back and read them.

Answer 9

I looked it up (KJV). You have completely distorted the passage, leaving out a significant part of it. I guess you think you are clever, putting out false info and adding your own twist to it.

The tribute  to the Lord, was from all the people taken.  And there were32,000 virgins (vs.35).  No where does it suggest that the tribute to the Lord was made up of the virgins.

Well, maybe God needed the virgins to give to the Muslims, eh?

Answer 10

He's horny.

Answer 11

Cause Hes a Pervert...
