Because the people had disobeyed God.

ANSWER:

In the torah, Moses both executes and commands murder on thousands of people for various reasons, mostly having to do with the will of God. The first time he commits murder in the beginning of the book of Exodus, he kills an Egyptian man and buries him in the sand. But as the commander of the Israelites, he slaughters thousands of men, women and children in countless cities as well as slaughtering many of his own men. Moses is one of history's most brutal commanders of war. (Exodus 2:12) (Exodus 32:27) (Deuteronomy 2:34) (Deuteronomy 3:6) (Deuteronomy 7:2) (Numbers 31:17)
