Numbers 31:1-20

1And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2AvengeH5358H5360 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 of the MidianitesH4084: afterwardH310 shalt thou be gatheredH622 to thy peopleH5971. 3And MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ArmH2502 someH582 of yourselves for the warH6635, and let them go against the MidianitesH4080, and avengeH5414H5360 the LORDH3068 on MidianH4080. 4Of every tribeH4294 a thousandH505, throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478, shall ye sendH7971 to the warH6635.1 5So there were deliveredH4560 out of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478, a thousandH505 of every tribeH4294, twelveH8147H6240 thousandH505 armedH2502 for warH6635. 6And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to the warH6635, a thousandH505 of every tribeH4294, them and PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, to the warH6635, with the holyH6944 instrumentsH3627, and the trumpetsH2689 to blowH8643 in his handH3027.

7And they warredH6633 against the MidianitesH4080, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872; and they slewH2026 all the malesH2145. 8And they slewH2026 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, besidesH5921 the rest of them that were slainH2491; namely, EviH189, and RekemH7552, and ZurH6698, and HurH2354, and RebaH7254, fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080: BalaamH1109 also the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 they slewH2026 with the swordH2719. 9And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 took all the womenH802 of MidianH4080 captivesH7617, and their little onesH2945, and took the spoilH962 of all their cattleH929, and all their flocksH4735, and all their goodsH2428. 10And they burntH8313 all their citiesH5892 in which they dweltH4186, and all their goodly castlesH2918, with fireH784. 11And they tookH3947 all the spoilH7998, and all the preyH4455, both of menH120 and of beastsH929. 12And they broughtH935 the captivesH7628, and the preyH4455, and the spoilH7998, to MosesH4872, and EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and to the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to the campH4264 at the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124, which are by JordanH3383 near JerichoH3405.

13And MosesH4872, and EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and all the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712, went forthH3318 to meetH7125 them outsideH2351 the campH4264. 14And MosesH4872 was angryH7107 with the officersH6485 of the hostH2428, with the captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, who cameH935 fromH6635 the battleH4421.2 15And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, Have ye savedH2421 all the womenH5347 aliveH2421? 16Behold, theseH2007 causedH1961 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, through the counselH1697 of BalaamH1109, to commitH4560 trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068 in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, and there was a plagueH4046 among the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068. 17Now therefore killH2026 every maleH2145 among the little onesH2945, and killH2026 every womanH802 that hath knownH3045 manH376 by lyingH4904 with himH2145.3 18But all the girlsH802H2945, that have not knownH3045 a manH2145 by lyingH4904 with him, keep aliveH2421 for yourselves. 19And do ye abideH2583 outsideH2351 the campH4264 sevenH7651 daysH3117: whoever hath killedH2026 any personH5315, and whoever hath touchedH5060 any slainH2491, purifyH2398 both yourselves and your captivesH7628 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117. 20And purifyH2398 all your raimentH899, and all that is madeH3627 of skinsH5785, and all workH4639 of goatsH5795’ hair, and all things madeH3627 of woodH6086.4
