1. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2. Avenge[H5358] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] of the Midianites[H4084]: afterward[H310] shalt thou be gathered[H622] unto thy people[H5971].
3. And Moses[H4872] spake[H1696] unto the people[H5971], saying[H559], Arm[H2502] ye men[H582] from among you for the war[H6635], that they may go against Midian[H4080], to execute Jehovah[H3068]'s vengeance[H5414] on Midian[H4080].
4. Of every tribe[H4294] a thousand[H505], throughout all the tribes[H4294] of Israel[H3478], shall ye send[H7971] to the war[H6635].
5. So there were delivered[H4560], out of the thousands[H505] of Israel[H3478], a thousand[H505] of every tribe[H4294], twelve[H8147] thousand[H505] armed[H2502] for war[H6635].
6. And Moses[H4872] sent[H7971] them[H505], a thousand of every tribe[H4294], to the war[H6635], them and Phinehas[H6372] the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], to the war[H6635], with the vessels[H3627] of the sanctuary[H6944] and the trumpets[H2689] for the alarm[H8643] in his hand[H3027].
7. And they warred[H6633] against Midian[H4080], as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872]; and they slew[H2026] every male[H2145].
8. And they slew[H2026] the kings[H4428] of Midian[H4080] with[H5921] the rest of their slain[H2491]: Evi[H189], and Rekem[H7552], and Zur[H6698], and Hur[H2354], and Reba[H7254], the five[H2568] kings[H4428] of Midian[H4080]: Balaam[H1109] also the son[H1121] of Beor[H1160] they slew[H2026] with the sword[H2719].
9. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] took captive[H7617] the women[H802] of Midian[H4080] and their little ones[H2945]; and all their cattle[H929], and all their flocks[H4735], and all their goods[H2428], they took for a prey[H962].
10. And all their cities[H5892] in the places wherein they dwelt[H4186], and all their encampments[H2918], they burnt with fire[H784].
11. And they took[H3947] all the spoil[H7998], and all the prey[H4455], both of man[H120] and of beast[H929].
12. And they brought[H935] the captives[H7628], and the prey[H4455], and the spoil[H7998], unto Moses[H4872], and unto Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and unto the congregation[H5712] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], unto the camp[H4264] at the plains[H6160] of Moab[H4124], which are by the Jordan[H3383] at Jericho[H3405].
13. And Moses[H4872], and Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and all the princes[H5387] of the congregation[H5712], went forth[H3318] to meet[H7125] them without[H2351] the camp[H4264].
14. And Moses[H4872] was wroth[H7107] with the officers[H6485] of the host[H2428], the captains[H8269] of thousands[H505] and the captains[H8269] of hundreds[H3967], who came[H935] from[H6635] the service of the war[H4421].
15. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto them[H2421], Have ye saved all the women[H5347] alive[H2421]?
16. Behold[H2007], these caused[H1961] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], through the counsel[H1697] of Balaam[H1109], to commit[H4560] trespass[H4604] against Jehovah[H3068] in the matter[H1697] of Peor[H6465], and so the plague[H4046] was among the congregation[H5712] of Jehovah[H3068].
17. Now therefore kill[H2026] every male[H2145] among the little ones[H2945], and kill[H2026] every woman[H802] that hath known[H3045] man[H376] by lying[H4904] with him[H2145].
18. But all the[H802] women-children[H2945], that have not known[H3045] man[H2145] by lying[H4904] with him[H2421], keep alive for yourselves.
19. And encamp[H2583] ye without[H2351] the camp[H4264] seven[H7651] days[H3117]: whosoever hath killed[H2026] any person[H5315], and whosoever hath touched[H5060] any slain[H2491], purify[H2398] yourselves on the third[H7992] day[H3117] and on the seventh[H7637] day[H3117], ye and your captives[H7628].
20. And as to every garment[H899], and all that is made[H3627] of skin[H5785], and all work[H4639] of goats[H5795]' hair[H3627], and all things made of wood[H6086], ye shall purify yourselves[H2398].
21. And Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548] said[H559] unto the men[H582] of war[H6635] that went[H935] to the battle[H4421], This is the statute[H2708] of the law[H8451] which Jehovah[H3068] hath commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872]:
22. howbeit the gold[H2091], and the silver[H3701], the brass[H5178], the iron[H1270], the tin[H913], and the lead[H5777],
23. everything[H1697] that may abide[H935] the fire[H784], ye shall make to go through[H5674] the fire[H784], and it shall be clean[H2891]; nevertheless it shall be purified[H2398] with the water[H4325] for impurity[H5079]: and all that abideth[H935] not the fire[H784] ye shall make to go through[H5674] the water[H4325].
24. And ye shall wash[H3526] your clothes[H899] on the seventh[H7637] day[H3117], and ye shall be clean[H2891]; and afterward[H310] ye shall come[H935] into the camp[H4264].
25. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
26. Take[H5375] the sum[H7218] of the prey[H4455] that was taken[H7628], both of man[H120] and of beast[H929], thou[H499], and Eleazar the priest[H3548], and the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1]' houses of the congregation[H5712];
27. and divide[H2673] the prey[H4455] into two parts[H2673]: between the men skilled[H8610] in war[H4421], that went out[H3318] to battle[H6635], and all the congregation[H5712].
28. And levy[H7311] a tribute[H4371] unto Jehovah[H3068] of the men[H582] of war[H4421] that went out[H3318] to battle[H6635]: one[H259] soul[H5315] of five[H2568] hundred[H3967], both of the persons[H120], and of the oxen[H1241], and of the asses[H2543], and of the flocks[H6629]:
29. take[H3947] it of their half[H4276], and give[H5414] it unto Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], for Jehovah[H3068]'s heave-offering[H8641].
30. And of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]'s half[H4276], thou shalt take[H3947] one[H259] drawn[H270] out of every fifty[H2572], of the persons[H120], of the oxen[H1241], of the asses[H2543], and of the flocks[H6629], even of all the cattle[H929], and give[H5414] them unto the Levites[H3881], that keep[H8104] the charge[H4931] of the tabernacle[H4908] of Jehovah[H3068].
31. And Moses[H4872] and Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548] did[H6213] as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872].
32. Now the prey[H957], over and above[H3499] the booty[H4455] which the men of[H5971] war[H6635] took[H962], was six[H8337] hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] and seventy[H7657] thousand[H505] and five[H2568] thousand[H505] sheep[H6629],
33. and threescore and twelve[H7657] thousand[H505] oxen[H1241],
34. and threescore[H8346] and one[H259] thousand[H505] asses[H2543],
35. and thirty[H7970] and two[H8147] thousand[H505] persons[H5315] in all[H3605], of the women[H802] that had not known[H3045] man[H2145] by lying with him[H4904].
36. And the half[H4275], which was the portion[H2506] of them that went out[H3318] to war[H6635], was in number[H4557] three[H7969] hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] and thirty[H7970] thousand and seven[H7651] thousand[H505] and five[H2568] hundred[H3967] sheep[H6629]:
37. and Jehovah[H3068]'s tribute[H4371] of the sheep[H6629] was six[H8337] hundred[H3967] and threescore and fifteen[H7657].
38. And the oxen[H1241] were thirty[H7970] and six[H8337] thousand[H505]; of which Jehovah[H3068]'s tribute[H4371] was threescore and twelve[H7657].
39. And the asses[H2543] were thirty[H7970] thousand[H505] and five[H2568] hundred[H3967]; of which Jehovah[H3068]'s tribute[H4371] was threescore[H8346] and one[H259].
40. And the persons[H120] were sixteen[H8337] thousand[H505]; of whom Jehovah[H3068]'s tribute[H4371] was thirty[H7970] and two[H8147] persons[H5315].
41. And Moses[H4872] gave[H5414] the tribute[H4371], which was Jehovah[H3068]'s heave-offering[H8641], unto Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872].
42. And of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]'s half[H4276], which Moses[H4872] divided[H2673] off from the men[H582] that warred[H6633]
43. (now the congregation[H5712]'s half[H4275] was three[H7969] hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] and thirty[H7970] thousand[H505], seven[H7651] thousand[H505] and five[H2568] hundred[H3967, 4480] sheep[H6629],
44. and thirty[H7970] and six[H8337] thousand[H505] oxen[H1241],
45. and thirty[H7970] thousand[H505] and five[H2568] hundred[H3967] asses[H2543],
46. and sixteen[H8337] thousand[H505] persons[H5315]),
47. even of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]'s half[H4276], Moses[H4872] took[H3947] one[H259] drawn[H270] out of every fifty[H2572], both of man[H120] and of beast[H929], and gave[H5414] them unto the Levites[H3881], that kept[H8104] the charge[H4931] of the tabernacle[H4908] of Jehovah[H3068]; as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872].
48. And the officers[H6485] that were over the thousands[H505] of the host[H6635], the captains[H8269] of thousands[H505], and the captains[H8269] of hundreds[H3967], came near[H7126] unto Moses[H4872];
49. and they said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Thy servants[H5650] have taken[H5375] the sum[H7218] of the men[H582] of war[H4421] that are under our charge[H3027], and there lacketh[H6485] not one man of us[H376].
50. And we have brought[H7126] Jehovah[H3068]'s oblation[H7133], what every man[H376] hath gotten[H4672], of jewels[H3627] of gold[H2091], ankle-chains[H685], and bracelets[H6781], signet-rings[H2885], ear-rings[H5694], and armlets[H3558], to make atonement[H3722] for our souls[H5315] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068].
51. And Moses[H4872] and Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548] took[H3947] the gold[H2091] of them[H4639], even all wrought jewels[H3627].
52. And all the gold[H2091] of the heave-offering[H8641] that they offered up[H7311] to Jehovah[H3068], of the captains[H8269] of thousands[H505], and of the captains[H8269] of hundreds[H3967], was sixteen[H8337] thousand[H505] seven[H7651] hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572] shekels[H8255].
53. [H582]( For the men of war[H6635] had taken booty[H962], every man for himself[H376].)
54. And Moses[H4872] and Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548] took[H3947] the gold[H2091] of the captains[H8269] of thousands[H505] and of hundreds[H3967], and brought[H935] it into the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], for a memorial[H2146] for the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068].
