And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Avenge{H5358} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} of the Midianites:{H4084} afterward{H310} shalt thou be gathered{H622} unto thy people.{H5971}

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's{H3068} vengeance{H5414} on Midian.{H4080}

Of every tribe{H4294} a thousand,{H505} throughout all the tribes{H4294} of Israel,{H3478} shall ye send{H7971} to the war.{H6635}

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}

And Moses{H4872} sent{H7971} them, a thousand{H505} 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}

And they warred{H6633} against Midian,{H4080} as Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses;{H4872} and they slew{H2026} every male.{H2145}

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}

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}

And all their cities{H5892} in the places wherein they dwelt,{H4186} and all their encampments,{H2918} they burnt with fire.{H784}

And they took{H3947} all the spoil,{H7998} and all the prey,{H4455} both of man{H120} and of beast.{H929}

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}

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}

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}

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto them, Have ye saved{H2421} all the women{H5347} alive?{H2421}

Behold, these{H2007} 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}

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}

But all the{H802} women-children,{H2945} that have not known{H3045} man{H2145} by lying{H4904} with him, keep alive{H2421} for yourselves.

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}

And as to every garment,{H899} and all that is made{H3627} of skin,{H5785} and all work{H4639} of goats'{H5795} [hair], and all things made{H3627} of wood,{H6086} ye shall purify{H2398} yourselves.

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}

howbeit the gold,{H2091} and the silver,{H3701} the brass,{H5178} the iron,{H1270} the tin,{H913} and the lead,{H5777}

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}

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}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Take{H5375} the sum{H7218} of the prey{H4455} that was taken,{H7628} both of man{H120} and of beast,{H929} thou, and Eleazar{H499} the priest,{H3548} and the heads{H7218} of the fathers'{H1} [houses] of the congregation;{H5712}

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}

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}

take{H3947} it of their half,{H4276} and give{H5414} it unto Eleazar{H499} the priest,{H3548} for Jehovah's{H3068} heave-offering.{H8641}

And of the children{H1121} of Israel's{H3478} 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}

And Moses{H4872} and Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548} did{H6213} as Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses.{H4872}

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}

and threescore and twelve{H7657} thousand{H505} oxen,{H1241}

and threescore{H8346} and one{H259} thousand{H505} asses,{H2543}

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{H4904} with him.

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}

and Jehovah's{H3068} tribute{H4371} of the sheep{H6629} was six{H8337} hundred{H3967} and threescore and fifteen.{H7657}

And the oxen{H1241} were thirty{H7970} and six{H8337} thousand;{H505} of which Jehovah's{H3068} tribute{H4371} was threescore and twelve.{H7657}

And the asses{H2543} were thirty{H7970} thousand{H505} and five{H2568} hundred;{H3967} of which Jehovah's{H3068} tribute{H4371} was threescore{H8346} and one.{H259}

And the persons{H120} were sixteen{H8337} thousand;{H505} of whom Jehovah's{H3068} tribute{H4371} was thirty{H7970} and two{H8147} persons.{H5315}

And Moses{H4872} gave{H5414} the tribute,{H4371} which was Jehovah's{H3068} heave-offering,{H8641} unto Eleazar{H499} the priest,{H3548} as Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses.{H4872}

And of the children{H1121} of Israel's{H3478} half,{H4276} which Moses{H4872} divided{H2673} off from the men{H582} that warred{H6633}

(now the congregation's{H5712} half{H4275} was three{H7969} hundred{H3967} thousand{H505} and thirty{H7970} thousand,{H505} seven{H7651} thousand{H505} and five{H2568} hundred{H3967} {H4480} sheep,{H6629}

and thirty{H7970} and six{H8337} thousand{H505} oxen,{H1241}

and thirty{H7970} thousand{H505} and five{H2568} hundred{H3967} asses,{H2543}

and sixteen{H8337} thousand{H505} persons),{H5315}

even of the children{H1121} of Israel's{H3478} 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}

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}

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{H376} of us.

And we have brought{H7126} Jehovah's{H3068} 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}

And Moses{H4872} and Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548} took{H3947} the gold{H2091} of them, even all wrought{H4639} jewels.{H3627}

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}

[( For] the men{H582} of war{H6635} had taken booty,{H962} every man{H376} for himself.)

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}
