Numbers 31:7-35
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 battleH4421.1 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 himH2145.2 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 woodH6086.3 21And EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 to the menH582 of warH6635 who wentH935 to the battleH4421, This is the ordinanceH2708 of the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872; 22Only the goldH2091, and the silverH3701, the brassH5178, the ironH1270, the tinH913, and the leadH5777, 23Every thingH1697 that may abideH935 the fireH784, ye shall make it go throughH5674 the fireH784, and it shall be cleanH2891: nevertheless it shall be purifiedH2398 with the waterH4325 of separationH5079: and all that abidethH935 not the fireH784 ye shall make go throughH5674 the waterH4325. 24And ye shall washH3526 your clothesH899 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and ye shall be cleanH2891, and afterwardH310 ye shall comeH935 into the campH4264.
25And the LORDH3068 spokeH559 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 26TakeH5375 the sumH7218 of the preyH4455 that was takenH7628, both of manH120 and of beastH929, thou, and EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of the congregationH5712:4 27And divideH2673 the preyH4455 into two partsH2673; between them that tookH8610 the warH4421 upon them, who went outH3318 to battleH6635, and between all the congregationH5712: 28And levyH7311 a tributeH4371 to the LORDH3068 of the menH582 of warH4421 who went outH3318 to battleH6635: oneH259 soulH5315 of fiveH2568 hundredH3967, both of the personsH120, and of the cattleH1241, and of the donkeysH2543, and of the sheepH6629: 29TakeH3947 it of their halfH4276, and giveH5414 it to EleazarH499 the priestH3548, for an heave offeringH8641 of the LORDH3068. 30And of the childrenH1121 of Israel’sH3478 halfH4276, thou shalt takeH3947 oneH259 portionH270 of fiftyH2572, of the personsH120, of the cattleH1241, of the donkeysH2543, and of the flocksH6629, of all manner of beastsH929, and giveH5414 them to the LevitesH3881, who keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068.5 31And MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 the priestH3548 didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 32And the bootyH4455, being the restH3499 of the preyH957 which the men ofH5971 warH6635 had takenH962, was sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 and seventyH7657 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 sheepH6629, 33And seventyH7657 and twoH8147 thousandH505 cattleH1241, 34And sixtyH8346 and oneH259 thousandH505 donkeysH2543, 35And thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 thousandH505 personsH5315H120 in allH3605, of womenH802 that had not knownH3045 manH2145 by lyingH4904 with him.
