Numbers 31:7-17
7So they madeH6633 warH6633 againstH5921 MidianH4080, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872, and 1they killedH2026 everyH3605 maleH2145. 8They killedH2026 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080 alongH5921 withH5921 the rest of those killedH2491: 2EviH189, RekemH7552, 3ZurH6698, HurH2354, and RebaH7254, the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080. They also killedH2026 4BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 with the swordH2719. 9And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 tookH7617 captiveH7617 the womenH802 of MidianH4080 and their littleH2945 onesH2945; and they plunderedH962 allH3605 their cattleH929, allH3605 their flocksH4735, and allH3605 their propertyH2428. 10Then they 5burnedH8313 allH3605 their citiesH5892 whereH4186 they livedH4186 and allH3605 their encampmentsH2918. 11And 6they tookH3947 allH3605 the plunderH7998 and allH3605 the spoilsH4455, both of peopleH120 and of livestockH929. 12They broughtH935 the captivesH7628 and the spoilsH4455 and the plunderH7998 to MosesH4872, to EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and to the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, to the campH4264 at the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 whichH834 are by the JordanH3383, opposite JerichoH3405.
13And MosesH4872, EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and allH3605 the leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 them outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264. 14But MosesH4872 wasH7107 angryH7107 with the officersH6485 of the armyH2428, the commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and the commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967, who had comeH935 from serviceH6635 in the warH4421. 15And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “Have you 7sparedH2421 8allH3605 the womenH5347? 169BeholdH2005, they causedH1961 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, through the 10counselH1697 of 11BalaamH1109, to be unfaithfulH4604 to the LordH3068 in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, so that the plagueH4046 tookH1961 placeH1961 among the congregationH5712 of the LordH3068! 1712NowH6258 therefore, killH2026 everyH3605 maleH2145 among the littleH2945 onesH2945, and killH2026 everyH3605 womanH802 who has knownH3045 a manH376 13intimatelyH4904H2145.
