Book 04 Numbers Chapter 031

 

031:001And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

031:002Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward
shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

 

031:003And 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.

 

031:004Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of
Israel, shall ye send to the war.

 

031:005So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a
thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

 

031:006And 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.

 

031:007And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded
Moses; and they slew all the males.

 

031:008And 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.

 

031:009And 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.

 

031:010And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all
their goodly castles, with fire.

 

031:011And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and
of beasts.

 

031:012And 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.

 

031:013And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

 

031:014And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which
came from the battle.

 

031:015And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

 

031:016Behold, 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.

 

031:017Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

 

031:018But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying
with him, keep alive for yourselves.

 

031:019And 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.

 

031:020And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins,
and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

 

031:021And 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;

 

031:022Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin,
and the lead,

 

031:023Every 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.

 

031:024And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye
shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

 

031:025And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

031:026Take 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:

 

031:027And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the
war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
congregation:

 

031:028And 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:

 

031:029Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest,
for an heave offering of the LORD.

 

031:030And 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.

 

031:031And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded
Moses.

 

031:032And 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,

 

031:033And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

 

031:034And threescore and one thousand asses,

 

031:035And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had
not known man by lying with him.

 

031:036And 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:

 

031:037And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and
threescore and fifteen.

 

031:038And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.

 

031:039And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which
the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

 

031:040And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was thirty and two persons.

 

031:041And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave
offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded
Moses.

 

031:042And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from
the men that warred,

 

031:043(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three
hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and
five hundred sheep,

 

031:044And thirty and six thousand beeves,

 

031:045And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

 

031:046And sixteen thousand persons;)

 

031:047Even 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.

 

031:048And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the
captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near
unto Moses:

 

031:049And 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.

 

031:050We 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.

 

031:051And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even
all wrought jewels.

 

031:052And 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.

 

031:053(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

 

031:054And 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.
