Book 04 : NUMBERS - Chapter 031

031:001

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

031:002

And 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

031:003

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

031:004

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

031:005

And 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

031:006

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

031:007

And 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

031:008

And 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

031:009

And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire

031:010

And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts

031:011

And 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

031:012

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

031:013

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

031:014

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive

031:015

Behold, 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

031:016

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

031:017

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

031:018

And 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

031:019

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

031:020

And 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

031:021

Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead

031:022

Every 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

031:023

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

031:024

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying

031:025

Take 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

031:026

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

031:027

And 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

031:028

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

031:029

And 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

031:030

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses

031:031

And 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

031:032

And threescore and twelve thousand beeves

031:033

And threescore and one thousand asses

031:034

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

031:035

And 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

031:036

And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen

031:037

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

031:038

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

031:039

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

031:040

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

031:041

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

031:042

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

031:043

And thirty and six thousand beeves

031:044

And thirty thousand asses and five hundred

031:045

And sixteen thousand persons;

031:046

Even 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

031:047

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

031:048

And 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

031:049

We 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

031:050

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels

031:051

And 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

031:052

(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.

031:053

And 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
