1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.
3 So Moses said to the people, “Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites so that they may carry out the LORD’s vengeance on them.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
4 Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.”
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
5 So twelve thousand men armed for battle, a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.

7 They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
8 Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;

16 Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.
16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the LORD in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the LORD’s people.
17 And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,
18 but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
19 And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is what is required by the law that the LORD gave Moses:
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
22 Gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, lead
23 everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water.
23 and anything else that can withstand fire must be put through the fire, and then it will be clean. But it must also be purified with the water of cleansing. And whatever cannot withstand fire must be put through that water.
24 And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
24 On the seventh day wash your clothes and you will be clean. Then you may come into the camp.”

25 The LORD said to Moses,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;
26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured.
27 and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.
27 Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community.
28 And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.
28 From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the LORD one out of every five hundred, whether people, cattle, donkeys or sheep.
