 |
| Numbers 31:1 |
|
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:2 |
|
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:3 |
|
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm
ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute
Jehovah's vengeance on Midian. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:4 |
|
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the
tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:5 |
|
So there were delivered, out of the thousands
of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:6 |
|
And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe,
to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with
the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:7 |
|
And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded
Moses; and they slew every male. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:8 |
|
And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest
of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of
Midian: Baalim also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:9 |
|
And the children of Israel took captive the
women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks,
and all their goods, they took for a prey. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:10 |
|
And all their cities in the places wherein they
dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:11 |
|
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey,
both of man and of beast. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:12 |
|
And they brought the captives, and the prey,
and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation
of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the
Jordan at Jericho. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:13 |
|
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the
princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:14 |
|
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the
host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the
service of the war. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:15 |
|
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all
the women alive? |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:16 |
|
Behold, these caused the children of Israel,
through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter
of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:17 |
|
Now therefore kill every male among the little
ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:18 |
|
But all the women-children, that have not known
man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:19 |
|
And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever
hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves
on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:20 |
|
And as to every garment, and all that is made
of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify
yourselves. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:21 |
|
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of
war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath
commanded Moses: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:22 |
|
howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass,
the iron, the tin, and the lead, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:23 |
|
everything that may abide the fire, ye shall
make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified
with the water for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to
go through the water. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:25 |
|
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:26 |
|
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both
of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers'
houses of the congregation; |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:27 |
|
and divide the prey into two parts: between
the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:28 |
|
And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of
war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and
of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:29 |
|
take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar
the priest, for Jehovah's heave-offering. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:30 |
|
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt
take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses,
and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that
keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:31 |
|
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah
commanded Moses. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:32 |
|
Now the prey, over and above the booty which
the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand
sheep, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:33 |
|
and threescore and twelve thousand oxen, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:34 |
|
and threescore and one thousand asses, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:35 |
|
and thirty and two thousand persons in all,
of the women that had not known man by lying with him. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:36 |
|
And the half, which was the portion of them
that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand
and seven thousand and five hundred sheep: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:37 |
|
and Jehovah's tribute of the sheep was six hundred
and threescore and fifteen. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:38 |
|
And the oxen were thirty and six thousand; of
which Jehovah's tribute was threescore and twelve. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:39 |
|
And the asses were thirty thousand and five
hundred; of which Jehovah's tribute was threescore and one. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:40 |
|
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom
Jehovah's tribute was thirty and two persons. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:41 |
|
And Moses gave the tribute, which was Jehovah's
heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded Moses. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:42 |
|
And of the children of Israel's half, which
Moses divided off from the men that warred, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:43 |
|
(now the congregation's half was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:44 |
|
and thirty and six thousand oxen, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:45 |
|
and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
|
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:46 |
|
and sixteen thousand persons), |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:47 |
|
even of the children of Israel's half, Moses
took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto
the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded
Moses. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:48 |
|
And the officers that were over the thousands
of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near
unto Moses; |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:49 |
|
and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have
taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not
one man of us. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:50 |
|
And we have brought Jehovah's oblation, what
every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings,
ear-rings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:51 |
|
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold
of them, even all wrought jewels. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:52 |
|
And all the gold of the heave-offering that
they offered up to Jehovah, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains
of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:53 |
|
(For the men of war had taken booty, every man
for himself.) |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:54 |
|
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold
of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of
meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah. |
