And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Avenge
the
children
of
Israel
of
the Midianites :
afterward
shalt
thou
be gathered unto
thy
people.
“Take
vengeance
on
the Midianites for
the
Israelites.
After
that,
you
will
be gathered to
your
people. ”
And
Moses spake
unto
the people, saying,
Arm ye
men from
among
you
for the
war, that they may go against Midian,
to
execute Jehovah's
vengeance on Midian
.
So
Moses told
the people, “
Arm some
of
your
men for war, that they may go against the
Midianites
and
execute the
LORD’s
vengeance on them
.
Of
every
tribe
a thousand ,
throughout
all
the
tribes
of Israel ,
shall
ye
send
to
the
war
.
Send
into
battle
a thousand men
from
each
tribe
of Israel. ”
So there
were
delivered,
out
of
the
thousands
of
Israel,
a thousand of
every
tribe ,
twelve thousand armed for war.
So a thousand men
were
recruited
from
each
tribe of
Israel—
twelve thousand armed for war.
And Moses sent them,
a
thousand of
every
tribe ,
to
the
war
, them
and
Phinehas the
son of Eleazar the priest, to
the
war,
with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the
alarm
in
his
hand
.
And Moses sent the
thousand from
each
tribe into
battle
, along
with
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who
took
with him
the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling
.
And
they warred
against Midian, as Jehovah
commanded Moses ;
and they slew
every male.
Then
they waged
war
against Midian, as the
LORD
had
commanded Moses ,
and they killed
every male.
And
they
slew
the
kings
of
Midian
with
the rest
of
their
slain :
Evi, and
Rekem, and
Zur, and
Hur, and Reba ,
the five kings of Midian :
Balaam
also the
son of Beor they
slew
with the sword.
Among
the slain were
Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba —
the five kings of Midian .
They
also killed
Balaam
son of Beor with the sword.
And
the children
of
Israel
took
captive
the women of
Midian
and their little
ones;
and
all
their
cattle
, and all their flocks, and all
their
goods ,
they
took
for
a
prey
.
The Israelites
captured
the Midianite
women and their children
, and they
plundered
all their herds,
flocks, and goods.
And
all their
cities in
the places
wherein
they
dwelt
, and
all their encampments, they
burnt
with
fire.
Then
they
burned
all the
cities where
the Midianites
had
lived
, as
well
as
all their encampments,
And they
took
all the spoil,
and all
the
prey
, both of
man
and of
beast
.
and carried
away
all the plunder
and spoils
, both people
and animals
.
And
they brought the captives, and
the
prey
, and the
spoil,
unto
Moses, and
unto
Eleazar the priest, and unto
the congregation of the
children
of
Israel ,
unto
the camp at
the plains of Moab, which
are
by the Jordan at
Jericho.
They brought the captives, spoils
, and plunder
to
Moses, to
Eleazar the priest, and to
the congregation of Israel at
the camp on
the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across
from
Jericho.
And Moses, and
Eleazar the priest, and all the princes
of the congregation ,
went forth
to meet them without
the camp.
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders
of the congregation went to meet them outside
the camp.
And
Moses was wroth
with the officers of the host,
the captains
of thousands and the
captains
of hundreds ,
who came
from the service
of
the
war
.
But
Moses was angry
with the officers of the army—
the commanders
of thousands and commanders
of hundreds —
who were
returning
from the battle
.
And
Moses
said
unto
them,
Have ye
saved
all the women alive
?
“
Have you
spared
all the women? ”
he
asked
them.
Behold
, these caused the children
of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit
trespass
against Jehovah
in
the matter
of
Peor, and
so the plague was
among
the congregation of Jehovah
.
“Look
, these women
caused the sons
of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn
unfaithfully
against the LORD
at
Peor, so that
the plague struck
the congregation of the
LORD
.
Now therefore
kill every
male
among
the little
ones
, and
kill
every woman that
hath
known
man
by
lying
with him.
So
now ,
kill all
the boys
, as
well
as
every woman who
has
had
relations
with a
man,
But all
the
women-children,
that
have
not
known
man
by
lying
with
him,
keep
alive
for yourselves.
but spare
for yourselves every
girl
who
has
never
had
relations
with
a
man
.
And
encamp
ye
without
the camp seven days :
whosoever
hath
killed
any
person,
and
whosoever
hath
touched
any
slain,
purify
yourselves
on the third day and on
the seventh day ,
ye
and your captives.
All
of
you
who
have
killed
a
person
or
touched
the dead
are
to
remain
outside
the
camp for
seven days .
On the third day and the seventh day you
are
to
purify
both
yourselves
and your captives.
And as
to
every garment ,
and all
that
is
made
of
skin
, and
all
work
of goats'
`
hair '
, and all
things
made
of wood ,
ye
shall
purify
yourselves
.
And purify
every garment and leather
good
, everything
made
of goat’s
hair, and every
article
of wood. ”
And
Eleazar the priest said unto
the
men
of
war
that
went
to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah
hath
commanded Moses:
Then
Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers
who
had
gone
into
battle, “
This is the statute of the law which the
LORD
has
commanded Moses:
howbeit
the gold, and
the
silver, the
brass
, the
iron, the
tin, and the
lead ,
Only
the gold, silver, bronze
, iron, tin, and lead —
everything that may
abide
the fire ,
ye
shall
make
to
go
through the fire, and it shall
be clean ;
nevertheless
it shall
be purified with the water for
impurity:
and all
that abideth
not
the fire ye
shall
make
to
go
through the water.
everything that can
withstand
the fire —must
be
put
through the fire, and it will
be clean .
But
it must
still
be purified with the water of
purification.
And everything
that cannot
withstand
the fire must
pass
through the water.
And
ye
shall
wash
your
clothes
on the seventh day, and ye
shall
be clean ;
and
afterward
ye
shall
come
into
the camp.
On the seventh day you
are
to
wash
your
clothes
, and you
will
be clean .
After
that
you
may
enter
the camp. ”
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
The
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Take
the
sum
of
the
prey
that
was
taken,
both
of
man
and
of
beast,
thou,
and Eleazar the priest ,
and the heads of the fathers'
`houses'
of
the
congregation ;
“You
and Eleazar the priest and the family
heads of the congregation are
to
take
a
count
of
what
was
captured,
both
of
man
and
beast.
and
divide the prey
into
two
parts:
between the men
skilled
in
war,
that
went out to battle ,
and all
the congregation.
Then
divide the captives
between the troops
who
went out to battle and the rest
of
the
congregation.
And
levy
a tribute unto
Jehovah
of
the men
of
war
that
went
out
to battle: one soul
of five hundred, `both'
of
the
persons, and
of
the
oxen
, and
of
the
asses
, and
of
the
flocks:
Set
aside
a tribute for
the LORD
from
what
belongs
to the
soldiers
who
went
into
battle: one out
of every
five hundred, whether
persons, cattle
, donkeys
, or
sheep.
take it of
their half ,
and give it unto
Eleazar the priest ,
for
Jehovah's
heave-
offering.
Take it from
their half and give it to
Eleazar the priest as
an
offering to
the
LORD
.
And
of
the children
of
Israel's
half, thou
shalt
take one drawn
out of every fifty, of
the
persons, of
the
oxen
, of
the
asses
, and
of
the
flocks
, `even'
of
all
the
cattle
, and give them unto
the Levites ,
that
keep the
charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah
.
From
the Israelites’
half, take one out of every fifty, whether
persons, cattle
, donkeys
, sheep
, or
other
animals
, and give them to
the Levites who
keep charge of the tabernacle of the
LORD
. ”
And
Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah
commanded Moses .
So
Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the
LORD
had
commanded Moses ,
Now
the
prey,
over
and above
the booty
which
the men
of
war
took
, was
six
hundred
thousand
and
seventy
thousand
and
five
thousand
sheep,
and this
plunder
remained
from
the spoils
the soldiers
had
taken:
675
, 000
sheep,
and
threescore
and
twelve
thousand
oxen
,
72
, 000
cattle,
and
threescore
and
one
thousand
asses
,
61
, 000
donkeys,
and thirty
and
two
thousand
persons
in
all
, of
the
women that
had not known
man
by
lying
with him
.
and 32
, 000
women who
had not slept
with a
man
.
And
the
half,
which
was the portion of
them
that
went
out
to war, was
in
number
three
hundred
thousand
and
thirty
thousand
and
seven
thousand
and
five
hundred
sheep :
This
was the half
portion for
those
who
had
gone
to war :
337
, 500
sheep ,
and
Jehovah's
tribute of
the sheep
was
six
hundred
and
threescore
and
fifteen.
including
a
tribute to
the LORD
of
675,
And
the oxen
were
thirty
and
six
thousand;
of which
Jehovah's
tribute
was
threescore
and
twelve.
36,000
cattle,
including
a
tribute
to
the LORD
of 72,
And
the asses
were
thirty
thousand
and
five
hundred;
of which
Jehovah's
tribute
was
threescore
and
one.
30,500
donkeys,
including
a
tribute
to
the LORD
of 61,
And the persons
were
sixteen
thousand;
of whom
Jehovah's
tribute
was
thirty
and
two
persons
.
and 16,000
people,
including
a
tribute
to
the LORD
of 32
.
And
Moses gave the tribute ,
which
was
Jehovah's
heave-offering,
unto
Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah
commanded Moses.
Moses gave the tribute to
Eleazar the priest as
an
offering
for
the
LORD
, as the
LORD
had
commanded Moses.
And
of
the children
of
Israel's
half, which Moses divided
off
from the men that
warred
,
From
the Israelites’
half, which Moses had
set
apart
from the men who
had
gone
to
war
,
(now
the
congregation's
half was
three
hundred
thousand
and
thirty
thousand
, seven
thousand
and
five
hundred
sheep,
this
half belonged
to
the
congregation:
337
, 500
sheep,
and
thirty
and
six
thousand
oxen
,
36
, 000
cattle,
and
thirty
thousand
and
five
hundred
asses
,
30
, 500
donkeys,
and sixteen
thousand
persons)
,
and 16
, 000
people.
even
of
the children
of
Israel's
half, Moses took one drawn
out of every fifty ,
both
of
man
and of
beast,
and gave them unto
the Levites ,
that
kept the
charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah;
as Jehovah
commanded Moses
.
From
the Israelites’
half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons
and animals
and gave them to
the Levites who
kept charge of the tabernacle of the
LORD,
as the
LORD
had
commanded him
.
And
the officers that
were over the thousands
of the host,
the captains
of thousands ,
and the
captains
of hundreds ,
came
near
unto
Moses ;
Then
the officers who
were over the units
of the army—
the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds —approached
Moses
and they
said unto
Moses
, Thy
servants have taken
the
sum
of
the men
of
war
that
are
under our charge
, and there
lacketh
not one man
of us.
and said, “Your
servants have counted
the soldiers
under our command
, and not one of us is
missing
.
And
we have brought Jehovah's
oblation,
what
every
man
hath
gotten,
of
jewels
of gold ,
ankle-chains
, and
bracelets, signet-
rings, ear-rings
, and armlets,
to make atonement for our
souls
before Jehovah
.
So
we have brought to
the
LORD
an
offering
of the
gold articles
each
man
acquired—armlets
, bracelets, rings, earrings
, and necklaces—
to make atonement for ourselves
before the
LORD
. ”
And
Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the
gold
of
them ,
even
all wrought
jewels
.
So
Moses and Eleazar the priest received
from
them all the
articles
made
out
of
gold
.
And
all the gold of
the
heave-offering
that they
offered
up
to
Jehovah,
of
the captains
of thousands ,
and of the
captains
of
hundreds, was
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
shekels.
All the gold that the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds presented
as
an
offering
to
the
LORD
weighed
16
, 750
shekels.
(`For'
the
men
of war
had taken booty,
every
man
for himself. )
Each
of the
soldiers
had taken plunder
for himself.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of
the captains
of thousands and of hundreds ,
and brought it into the tent of meeting ,
for
a memorial for the children
of
Israel
before Jehovah
.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received
the gold from
the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as
a memorial for the Israelites
before the
LORD
.
