- The LORD said to Moses,
- 2
- "Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites.
- After that, you will be gathered to your people."
- 3
- So Moses said to the people, "Arm some of your men to go to war
- against the Midianites and to carry out the LORD's vengeance on them.
- 4
- Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel."
- 5
- So twelve thousand men armed for battle,
- a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel.
- 6
- Moses sent them into battle, a thousand from each tribe,
- along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him
- articles from the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
- 7
- They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man.
- 8
- Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba--
- the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
- 9
- The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children
- and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder.
- 10
- They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled,
- as well as all their camps.
- 11
- They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals,
- 12
- and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest
- and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab,
- by the Jordan across from Jericho.
- 13
- Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community
- went to meet them outside the camp.
- 14
- Moses was angry with the officers of the army--
- the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds--
- who returned from the battle.
- 15
- "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them.
- 16
- "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice
- and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD
- in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people.
- 17
- Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,
- 18
- but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
- 19
- "All of you who have killed anyone or touched anyone
- who was killed must stay outside the camp seven days.
- On the third and seventh days you must purify yourselves and your captives.
- 20
- Purify every garment as well as everything made of leather, goat hair or wood."
- 21
- Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle,
- "This is the requirement of the law that the LORD gave Moses:
- 22
- Gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, lead
- 23
- and anything else that can withstand fire must be put through the fire,
- and then it will be clean. But it must also be purified with the water of cleansing.
- And whatever cannot withstand fire must be put through that water.
- 24
- On the seventh day wash your clothes and you will be clean.
- Then you may come into the camp."
- 25
- The LORD said to Moses,
- 26
- "You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community
- are to count all the people and animals that were captured.
- 27
- Divide the spoils between the soldiers who took part in the battle
- and the rest of the community.
- 28
- From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the LORD
- one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep or goats.
- 29
- Take this tribute from their half share
- and give it to Eleazar the priest as the LORD's part.
- 30
- From the Israelites' half, select one out of every fifty,
- whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats or other animals.
- Give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the LORD's tabernacle."
- 31
- So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 32
- The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep,
- 33
- 72,000 cattle,
- 34
- 61,000 donkeys
- 35
- and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.
- 36
- The half share of those who fought in the battle was: 337,500 sheep,
- 37
- of which the tribute for the LORD was 675;
- 38
- 36,000 cattle, of which the tribute for the LORD was 72;
- 39
- 30,500 donkeys, of which the tribute for the LORD was 61;
- 40
- 16,000 people, of which the tribute for the LORD was 32.
- 41
- Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as the LORD's part,
- as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 42
- The half belonging to the Israelites,
- which Moses set apart from that of the fighting men--
- 43
- the community's half--was 337,500 sheep,
- 44
- 36,000 cattle,
- 45
- 30,500 donkeys
- 46
- and 16,000 people.
- 47
- From the Israelites' half, Moses selected one out of every fifty persons
- and animals, as the LORD commanded him, and gave them to the Levites,
- who were responsible for the care of the LORD's tabernacle.
- 48
- Then the officers who were over the units of the army--
- the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds--went to Moses
- 49
- and said to him, "Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command,
- and not one is missing.
- 50
- So we have brought as an offering to the LORD the gold articles each of us acquired--
- armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces--
- to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."
- 51
- Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted from them the gold--all the crafted articles.
- 52
- All the gold from the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds
- that Moses and Eleazar presented as a gift to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
- 53
- Each soldier had taken plunder for himself.
- 54
- Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted the gold from the commanders
- of thousands and commanders of hundreds and brought it into
- the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.
