| Numbers 31:1 |
|
And the LORD 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
some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge
the LORD of 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 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. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 31:7 |
|
And they warred against the Midianites, as the
LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:10 |
|
And they burnt all their cities wherein they
dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:11 |
|
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey,
both of men and of beasts. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
|
|
|
| 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, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came
from the battle. |
|
|
|
| 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 the LORD in the matter
of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| 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
a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 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; |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:22 |
|
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the
iron, the tin, and the lead, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 the LORD 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 chief fathers of the
congregation: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 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: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 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: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:29 |
|
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar
the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:31 |
|
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the
LORD commanded Moses. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 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, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:33 |
|
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:34 |
|
And threescore and one thousand asses, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:35 |
|
And thirty and two thousand persons in all,
of 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 seven and thirty
thousand and five hundred sheep: |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:37 |
|
And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six
hundred and threescore and fifteen. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:38 |
|
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand;
of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:39 |
|
And the asses were thirty thousand and five
hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:40 |
|
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which
the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:41 |
|
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S
heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:42 |
|
And of the children of Israel's half, which
Moses divided from the men that warred, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:43 |
|
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation
was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred
sheep, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:44 |
|
And thirty and six thousand beeves, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:45 |
|
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:46 |
|
And sixteen thousand persons;) |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:47 |
|
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses
took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites,
which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:48 |
|
And the officers which were over thousands
of the host, the captains of thousands, and 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 which are under our charge, and there lacketh
not one man of us. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 31:50 |
|
We have therefore brought an oblation for the
LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings,
earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 offering that they offered
up to the LORD, 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 spoil, 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 tabernacle
of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD. |
