NU-31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-31:2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou
be gathered unto thy people.
NU-31:3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of
yourselves unto
the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the
LORD of
Midian.
NU-31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of
Israel, shall
ye send to the war.
NU-31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel,
a thousand of
[every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
NU-31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every]
tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the
holy instruments,
and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
NU-31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD
commanded Moses;
and they slew all the males.
NU-31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of
them that were
slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba,
five kings of
Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
NU-31:9 And the children of Israel took [all] the women of
Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle,
and all their
flocks, and all their goods.
NU-31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt,
and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
NU-31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both]
of men and of
beasts.
NU-31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the
spoil, unto
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the
children of
Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by
Jordan [near]
Jericho.
NU-31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes
of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
NU-31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host,
[with] the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came
from the
battle.
NU-31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women
alive?
NU-31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through
the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of
Peor, and there
was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
NU-31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones,
and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him.
NU-31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man
by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.
NU-31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever
hath killed
any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both]
yourselves and
your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
NU-31:20 And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of
skins, and
all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.
NU-31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which
went to the
battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD
commanded Moses;
NU-31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,
the tin, and the
lead,
NU-31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make
[it] go through
the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be
purified with the
water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall
make go
through the water.
NU-31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and
ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
NU-31:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man
and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the
congregation:
NU-31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that
took the war
upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
congregation:
NU-31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war
which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of
the beeves,
and of the asses, and of the sheep:
NU-31:29 Take [it] of their half, and give [it] unto Eleazar
the priest,
[for] an heave offering of the LORD.
NU-31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take
one portion of
fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the
flocks, of all
manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the
charge of the
tabernacle of the LORD.
NU-31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD
commanded Moses.
NU-31:32 And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the
men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five
thousand sheep,
NU-31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
NU-31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
NU-31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women
