Numbers 31:2-10

2“1TakeH5358 fullH5360 vengeanceH5360 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 on the MidianitesH4084; afterwardH310 you will be 2gatheredH622 to your peopleH5971.”

3MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “ArmH2502 menH376 from amongH854 you for the warH6635, that they may 3goH1961 againstH5921 MidianH4080 to executeH5414 4the Lord’sH3068 vengeanceH5360 on MidianH4080.

4A thousandH505 from each tribeH4294 of allH3605 the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478 you shall sendH7971 to the warH6635.”

5So there were 5furnishedH4560 from the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478, a thousandH505 from each tribeH4294, twelveH8147H6240 thousandH505 armedH2502 for warH6635.

6MosesH4872 sentH7971 them, a thousandH505 from each tribeH4294, to the warH6635, and PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, to the warH6635 with them, 6and the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 and 7the trumpetsH2689 for the alarmH8643 in his handH3027.

7So they madeH6633 warH6633 againstH5921 MidianH4080, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872, and 8they killedH2026 everyH3605 maleH2145.

8They killedH2026 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080 alongH5921 with the rest of their slainH2491: 9EviH189 and RekemH7552 and 10ZurH6698 and HurH2354 and RebaH7254, the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080; they also killedH2026 11BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 with the swordH2719.

9The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 capturedH7617 the womenH802 of MidianH4080 and their littleH2945 onesH2945; and allH3605 their cattleH929 and allH3605 their flocksH4735 and allH3605 their goodsH2428 they plunderedH962.

10Then they burnedH8313 allH3605 their citiesH5892 whereH4186 they livedH4186 and allH3605 their campsH2918 with fireH784.
