And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹

Avenge⁵³⁵⁸ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ of the Midianites:⁴⁰⁸⁴ afterward³¹⁰ shalt thou be gathered⁶²² unto thy people.⁵⁹⁷¹

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Arm²⁵⁰² some⁵⁸² of yourselves unto the war,⁶⁶³⁵ and let them go against the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and avenge⁵⁴¹⁴ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of Midian.⁴⁰⁸⁰

Of every tribe⁴²⁹⁴ a thousand,⁵⁰⁵ throughout all the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ shall ye send⁷⁹⁷¹ to the war.⁶⁶³⁵

So there were delivered⁴⁵⁶⁰ out of the thousands⁵⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ of every tribe,⁴²⁹⁴ twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ armed²⁵⁰² for war.⁶⁶³⁵

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them to the war,⁶⁶³⁵ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ of every tribe,⁴²⁹⁴ them and Phinehas⁶³⁷² the son¹¹²¹ of Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ to the war,⁶⁶³⁵ with the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ instruments,³⁶²⁷ and the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ to blow⁸⁶⁴³ in his hand.³⁰²⁷

And they warred⁶⁶³³ against the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁰ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses;⁴⁸⁷² and they slew²⁰²⁶ all the males.²¹⁴⁵

And they slew²⁰²⁶ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ beside the rest⁵⁹²¹ of them that were slain;²⁴⁹¹ namely, Evi,¹⁸⁹ and Rekem,⁷⁵⁵² and Zur,⁶⁶⁹⁸ and Hur,²³⁵⁴ and Reba,⁷²⁵⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian:⁴⁰⁸⁰ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ also the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ they slew²⁰²⁶ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took all the women⁸⁰² of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ captives,⁷⁶¹⁷ and their little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ and took the spoil⁹⁶² of all their cattle,⁹²⁹ and all their flocks,⁴⁷³⁵ and all their goods.²⁴²⁸

And they burnt⁸³¹³ all their cities⁵⁸⁹² wherein they dwelt,⁴¹⁸⁶ and all their goodly castles,²⁹¹⁸ with fire.⁷⁸⁴

And they took³⁹⁴⁷ all the spoil,⁷⁹⁹⁸ and all the prey,⁴⁴⁵⁵ both of men¹²⁰ and of beasts.⁹²⁹

And they brought⁹³⁵ the captives,⁷⁶²⁸ and the prey,⁴⁴⁵⁵ and the spoil,⁷⁹⁹⁸ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and unto the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto the camp⁴²⁶⁴ at the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ which are by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho.³⁴⁰⁵

And Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and all the princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the congregation,⁵⁷¹² went forth³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ them without²³⁵¹ the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² was wroth⁷¹⁰⁷ with the officers⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the host,²⁴²⁸ with the captains⁸²⁶⁹ over thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ which came⁹³⁵ from⁶⁶³⁵ the battle.⁴⁴²¹

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Have ye saved all the women⁵³⁴⁷ alive?²⁴²¹

Behold, these²⁰⁰⁷ caused¹⁹⁶¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ through the counsel¹⁶⁹⁷ of Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ to commit⁴⁵⁶⁰ trespass⁴⁶⁰⁴ against Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ in the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ of Peor,⁶⁴⁶⁵ and there was a plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ among the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

Now therefore kill²⁰²⁶ every male²¹⁴⁵ among the little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ and kill²⁰²⁶ every woman⁸⁰² that hath known³⁰⁴⁵ man³⁷⁶ by lying⁴⁹⁰⁴ with him.²¹⁴⁵

But all the women⁸⁰² children,²⁹⁴⁵ that have not known³⁰⁴⁵ a man²¹⁴⁵ by lying⁴⁹⁰⁴ with him, keep alive²⁴²¹ for yourselves.

And do ye abide²⁵⁸³ without²³⁵¹ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days:³¹¹⁷ whosoever hath killed²⁰²⁶ any person,⁵³¹⁵ and whosoever hath touched⁵⁰⁶⁰ any slain,²⁴⁹¹ purify²³⁹⁸ both yourselves and your captives⁷⁶²⁸ on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ and on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day.³¹¹⁷

And purify²³⁹⁸ all your raiment,⁸⁹⁹ and all that is made³⁶²⁷ of skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and all work⁴⁶³⁹ of goats'⁵⁷⁹⁵ hair, and all things made³⁶²⁷ of wood.⁶⁰⁸⁶

And Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the men⁵⁸² of war⁶⁶³⁵ which went⁹³⁵ to the battle,⁴⁴²¹ This is the ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ which Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses;⁴⁸⁷²

Only the gold,²⁰⁹¹ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ the brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ the iron,¹²⁷⁰ the tin,⁹¹³ and the lead,⁵⁷⁷⁷

Every thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that may abide⁹³⁵ the fire,⁷⁸⁴ ye shall make it go⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the fire,⁷⁸⁴ and it shall be clean:²⁸⁹¹ nevertheless it shall be purified²³⁹⁸ with the water⁴³²⁵ of separation:⁵⁰⁷⁹ and all that abideth⁹³⁵ not the fire⁷⁸⁴ ye shall make go⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the water.⁴³²⁵

And ye shall wash³⁵²⁶ your clothes⁸⁹⁹ on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day,³¹¹⁷ and ye shall be clean,²⁸⁹¹ and afterward³¹⁰ ye shall come⁹³⁵ into the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹

Take⁵³⁷⁵ the sum⁷²¹⁸ of the prey⁴⁴⁵⁵ that was taken,⁷⁶²⁸ both of man¹²⁰ and of beast,⁹²⁹ thou, and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and the chief⁷²¹⁸ fathers¹ of the congregation:⁵⁷¹²

And divide²⁶⁷³ the prey⁴⁴⁵⁵ into two parts; between them that took⁸⁶¹⁰ the war⁴⁴²¹ upon them, who went out³³¹⁸ to battle,⁶⁶³⁵ and between all the congregation:⁵⁷¹²

And levy⁷³¹¹ a tribute⁴³⁷¹ unto Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of the men⁵⁸² of war⁴⁴²¹ which went out³³¹⁸ to battle:⁶⁶³⁵ one²⁵⁹ soul⁵³¹⁵ of five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ both of the persons,¹²⁰ and of the beeves,¹²⁴¹ and of the donkeys,²⁵⁴³ and of the sheep:⁶⁶²⁹

Take³⁹⁴⁷ it of their half,⁴²⁷⁶ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ for an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ half,⁴²⁷⁶ thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ one²⁵⁹ portion²⁷⁰ of fifty,²⁵⁷² of the persons,¹²⁰ of the beeves,¹²⁴¹ of the donkeys,²⁵⁴³ and of the flocks,⁶⁶²⁹ of all manner of beasts,⁹²⁹ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ which keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ did⁶²¹³ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

And the booty,⁴⁴⁵⁵ being the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the prey⁹⁵⁷ which the men⁵⁹⁷¹ of war⁶⁶³⁵ had caught,⁹⁶² was six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep,⁶⁶²⁹

And threescore and twelve⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ beeves,¹²⁴¹

And threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and one²⁵⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ donkeys,²⁵⁴³

And thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ persons⁵³¹⁵ in all,³⁶⁰⁵ of women⁸⁰² that had not known³⁰⁴⁵ man²¹⁴⁵ by lying⁴⁹⁰⁴ with him.

And the half,⁴²⁷⁵ which was the portion²⁵⁰⁶ of them that went out³³¹⁸ to war,⁶⁶³⁵ was in number⁴⁵⁵⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹

And Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ of the sheep⁶⁶²⁹ was six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore and fifteen.⁷⁶⁵⁷

And the beeves¹²⁴¹ were thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and six⁸³³⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ of which Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ was threescore and twelve.⁷⁶⁵⁷

And the donkeys²⁵⁴³ were thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred;³⁹⁶⁷ of which Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ was threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and one.²⁵⁹

And the persons¹²⁰ were sixteen⁸³³⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ of which Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ persons.⁵³¹⁵

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the tribute,⁴³⁷¹ which was Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ heave offering,⁸⁶⁴¹ unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

And of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ half,⁴²⁷⁶ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² divided²⁶⁷³ from the men⁵⁸² that warred,⁶⁶³³

(Now the half⁴²⁷⁵ that pertained unto the congregation⁵⁷¹² was three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ sheep,⁴⁴⁸⁰

And thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and six⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ beeves,¹²⁴¹

And thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ donkeys²⁵⁴³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷

And sixteen⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ persons;)⁵³¹⁵

Even of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ half,⁴²⁷⁶ Moses⁴⁸⁷² took³⁹⁴⁷ one²⁵⁹ portion²⁷⁰ of fifty,²⁵⁷² both of man¹²⁰ and of beast,⁹²⁹ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ which kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

And the officers⁶⁴⁸⁵ which were over thousands⁵⁰⁵ of the host,⁶⁶³⁵ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ came near⁷¹²⁶ unto Moses:⁴⁸⁷²

And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ have taken⁵³⁷⁵ the sum⁷²¹⁸ of the men⁵⁸² of war⁴⁴²¹ which are under our charge,³⁰²⁷ and there lacketh⁶⁴⁸⁵ not one man³⁷⁶ of us.

We have therefore brought⁷¹²⁶ an oblation⁷¹³³ for Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ what every man³⁷⁶ hath gotten,⁴⁶⁷² of jewels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ chains,⁶⁸⁵ and bracelets,⁶⁷⁸¹ rings,²⁸⁸⁵ earrings,⁵⁶⁹⁴ and tablets,³⁵⁵⁸ to make an atonement³⁷²² for our souls⁵³¹⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ the gold²⁰⁹¹ of them, even all wrought⁴⁶³⁹ jewels.³⁶²⁷

And all the gold²⁰⁹¹ of the offering⁸⁶⁴¹ that they offered up⁷³¹¹ to Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ of the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and of the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ was sixteen⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² shekels.⁸²⁵⁵

(For the men⁵⁸² of war⁶⁶³⁵ had taken spoil,⁹⁶² every man³⁷⁶ for himself.)

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ the gold²⁰⁹¹ of the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands⁵⁰⁵ and of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and brought⁹³⁵ it into the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ for a memorial²¹⁴⁶ for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸
