Young's Literal Translation
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
“Take
vengeance on
the Midianites
for
the Israelites.
After
that,
you
will
be
gathered to
your
people. ”
`Execute
the
vengeance of
the sons
of
Israel
against
the Midianites
--
afterwards
thou
art
gathered unto
thy
people. '
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.
And
Moses speaketh
unto
the people, saying,
`Be
ye
armed
some of you
for the
host
, and
they are
against Midian,
to
put
the vengeance of
Jehovah
on Midian;
Send
into
battle
a thousand men
from
each
tribe of Israel. ”
a thousand for
a
tribe --
a
thousand
for
a
tribe,
to
all
the
tribes
of Israel --
ye
do
send
to
the
host
. '
So
a thousand men
were
recruited
from
each
tribe of
Israel—
twelve thousand armed for
war.
And
there
are
given
out
of
the
thousands
of
Israel
a thousand for
a
tribe ,
twelve thousand armed ones
of
the
host;
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 Moses sendeth
them,
a
thousand for
a
tribe, to
the
host,
them
and
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to
the host;
and
the holy
vessels,
and the trumpets of
the
shouting,
in
his
hand
.
Then
they waged
war against Midian, as the
LORD
had
commanded Moses, and they
killed
every male .
And
they war against Midian, as Jehovah
hath
commanded Moses, and slay
every male ;
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 kings
of
Midian
they
have
slain ,
besides
their
pierced
ones,
Evi, and
Rekem, and
Zur, and
Hur, and Reba ,
five kings of Midian ;
and
Balaam son of Beor ,
they
have
slain
with the sword.
The Israelites
captured
the Midianite
women and their children,
and they
plundered
all their herds
, flocks
, and goods.
And
the sons
of
Israel
take
captive
the women of
Midian,
and their infants;
and all their cattle
, and
all
their
substance
, and all
their
wealth
they
have
plundered;
Then
they
burned
all the
cities where
the
Midianites
had
lived
, as
well
as
all their encampments
,
and
all their
cities, with
their
habitations,
and
all their towers
, they
have
burnt
with
fire.
and carried
away
all the plunder
and spoils
, both
people
and animals.
And they
take
all the spoil,
and all
the
prey
, among
man
and among
beast;
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
they bring
in
, unto
Moses, and
unto
Eleazar the priest, and unto
the company
of the
sons
of
Israel ,
the captives,
and
the
prey,
and
the
spoil,
unto
the
camp ,
unto
the plains of Moab, which
`are'
by Jordan ,
`near'
Jericho.
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders
of the congregation
went
to meet them outside the camp .
And Moses, and
Eleazar the priest, and all the princes
of the company,
go
out
to meet them ,
unto
the
outside of
the camp ,
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 is
wroth
against
the inspectors
of the force,
chiefs
of the
thousands ,
and chiefs
of the
hundreds ,
who are
coming
in
from the host
of
the
battle.
“
Have you
spared
all
the
women
? ”
he
asked
them.
And
Moses
saith
unto
them,
`
Have ye
kept
alive
every
female
?
“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
.
lo
, they
--
they
have
been
to
the sons of Israel, through the word
of Balaam, to cause
a
trespass
against Jehovah
in
the matter
of
Peor, and
the plague is
in
the company
of Jehovah
.
So
now, kill
all
the boys
, as
well
as
every woman who
has
had
relations
with
a
man ,
`And
now, slay
ye
every
male
among
the infants
, yea,
every woman known
of
man by
the
lying
of
a
male
ye
have
slain;
but
spare
for
yourselves
every
girl
who has
never
had
relations
with
a man
.
and
all
the
infants
among
the
women,
who have
not
known
the
lying
of
a male,
ye
have
kept
alive
for
yourselves
.
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
ye,
encamp
ye
at
the outside of
the camp seven days --
any
who
hath
slain
a
person,
and
any
who
hath
come
against
a
pierced
one,
ye
cleanse
yourselves
on the third day ,
and on
the seventh day --
ye
and your captives ;
And purify
every garment and leather
good
, everything
made
of goat’s
hair, and every article
of
wood
. ”
and every garment ,
and every
skin
vessel
, and
every
work
of goats'
`
hair '
, and every wooden
vessel,
ye
yourselves
cleanse
. '
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:
And
Eleazar the priest saith
unto
the men
of
the
host
who go
in
to
battle, `
This `
is '
the statute of the law which Jehovah
hath
commanded Moses:
Only the gold, silver, bronze
, iron, tin, and lead —
only ,
the gold, and
the
silver, the
brass
, the
iron, the
tin, and the
lead ,
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 .
every
thing
which
may
go
into
fire ,
ye
cause
to
pass
over
through fire, and it hath
been
clean ;
only,
with the water of separation
it
is
cleansed,
and all
that may
not
go
into
fire ,
ye
cause
to
pass over
through water ;
On the seventh day you
are
to
wash
your
clothes
, and you
will
be
clean .
After
that
you
may
enter
the camp. ”
and
ye
have
washed
your
garments
on the seventh day, and have
been
clean ,
and
afterwards
ye
come
in
unto
the camp. '
The
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
“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.
`Take
up
the
sum
of
the
prey
of
the
captives,
among
man
and among
beast,
thou,
and
Eleazar the priest ,
and the heads of the fathers
of the
company;
Then
divide
the captives
between the troops
who went
out to battle
and
the rest
of
the congregation.
and
thou
hast
halved
the prey
between those
handling
the battle
who go
out to the host
and
all
the company;
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.
and
thou
hast
raised
a tribute to Jehovah
from
the men
of
war,
who go
out
to
the
host,
one body
out of five hundred, of
man
, and
of
the
herd
, and
of
the
asses
, and
of
the
flock;
Take
it
from their half and give
it
to Eleazar the priest as
an
offering
to
the LORD
.
from their half ye
do
take,
and thou
hast
given
to Eleazar the priest --
the heave-offering
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
from the sons
of
Israel's
half thou
dost
take one possession
out of fifty, of
man
, of
the
herd
, of
the
asses
, and
of
the
flock
, of
all
the
cattle
, and thou
hast
given
them to the Levites keeping
the
charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah
. '
So
Moses
and Eleazar the priest did
as the
LORD
had
commanded Moses ,
And Moses
doth
--
Eleazar the priest also
--
as Jehovah
hath
commanded Moses .
and this
plunder
remained
from
the spoils
the soldiers
had
taken:
675
, 000
sheep
,
And the prey,
the residue
of
the
spoil
which
the
people
of
the
host
have
spoiled
, is
of
the
flock
six
hundred
thousand
, and
seventy
thousand,
and
five
thousand;
72,000
cattle,
and
of
the
herd
two
and
seventy
thousand;
61,000
donkeys,
and
of
asses
one
and
sixty
thousand;
and 32,000
women who had
not slept
with
a man
.
and of
human
beings
--
of
the
women who have
not known
the
lying
of
a male
--
all
the
persons
`are'
two
and
thirty
thousand
.
This
was
the half portion for
those who had
gone
to
war:
337
, 500
sheep
,
And
the half --
the
portion of
those who go
out
into
the
host
--
the
number
of
the
flock
is
three
hundred
thousand
, and
thirty
thousand
, and
seven
thousand
and
five
hundred.
including
a
tribute to the
LORD
of 675,
And
the
tribute to Jehovah
of the
sheep
is
six
hundred
five
and
seventy;
36,000
cattle
, including
a
tribute to the
LORD
of
72,
and
the
herd
`is'
six
and
thirty
thousand
, and
their
tribute to Jehovah
`is'
two
and
seventy;
30,500
donkeys
, including
a
tribute to the
LORD
of
61,
and
the
asses
`are'
thirty
thousand
and
five
hundred
, and
their
tribute to Jehovah
`is'
one
and
sixty;
and 16,000
people
, including
a
tribute to the
LORD
of
32
.
and the
human
beings
`are'
sixteen
thousand
, and
their
tribute to Jehovah
`is'
two
and
thirty
persons
.
Moses gave
the tribute to Eleazar the priest as
an
offering
for
the
LORD
, as the
LORD
had
commanded Moses.
And
Moses giveth
the tribute --
Jehovah's
heave-offering
--
to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah
hath
commanded Moses.
From
the Israelites’
half, which Moses had
set
apart
from the men who had
gone
to
war ,
And
of
the sons
of
Israel's
half, which Moses halved
from the men who war --
this
half belonged
to
the congregation:
337
, 500
sheep
,
and
the
company's
half is,
of
the flock
three
hundred
thousand
, and
thirty
thousand
, seven
thousand
and
five
hundred;
36,000
cattle,
and
of
the
herd
six
and
thirty
thousand;
30,500
donkeys,
and
of
asses
thirty
thousand
and
five
hundred;
and 16,000
people.
and of
human
beings
sixteen
thousand
--
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
.
Moses
taketh
from the sons
of
Israel's
half the
one possession
from
the
fifty ,
of
man
and of
beast,
and giveth
them to the Levites keeping
the
charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah
, as Jehovah
hath
commanded Moses
.
Then
the officers
who
were
over
the units
of the army—the
commanders
of thousands and of hundreds —approached
Moses
And
the inspectors
whom
the thousands
of the host
hath,
(heads
of the
thousands and heads
of the
hundreds ),
draw
near
unto
Moses ,
and said
, “Your
servants have counted
the soldiers
under
our
command
, and not one
of us is
missing.
and they
say
unto
Moses
, `Thy
servants have taken
up
the sum
of
the
men
of
war
who
`are'
with
us
, and not a
man
of us hath
been
missed;
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
we bring
near
Jehovah's
offering ,
each
that
which
he
hath
found,
vessels
of gold --
chain
, and
bracelet
, seal-ring
, `ear'-ring
, and bead
--
to make atonement for ourselves before Jehovah
. '
So
Moses
and Eleazar the priest received
from them all
the
articles
made out
of
gold.
And Moses
receiveth
--
Eleazar the priest also
--
the
gold
from them ,
every
made vessel,
All the gold that
the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds
presented
as
an
offering
to
the LORD
weighed
16,750
shekels.
and
all the gold of
the heave-offering
which
they
have
lifted
up
to
Jehovah
is
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
shekels,
from
heads
of the
thousands ,
and from
heads
of the hundreds;
Each
of the soldiers
had
taken
plunder
for himself .
(the
men
of the host
have
spoiled
each
for himself );
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
.
and Moses taketh
--
Eleazar the priest also
--
the gold from the heads
of the
thousands and of the
hundreds ,
and they
bring
it in
unto
the tent of meeting --
a memorial for the sons
of
Israel
before Jehovah
.
