Numbers 31

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 Take just reparations for the Israelites from the Midianites. Afterward you will join your ancestors.

3 Moses spoke to the people: "Equip some of your men for battle so that they may go against Midian and execute the LORD's just punishment against Midian.

4 You will send out for battle one thousand from each of the tribes of Israel."

5 From the thousands of Israel, one thousand from each tribe were selected. Twelve thousand were equipped for battle.

6 Moses sent them to battle, one thousand from each tribe, along with Phinehas, Eleazar the priest's son, who carried the sanctuary equipment and the trumpets for sounding the alarm in his hand.

7 They battled against Midian as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

8 They killed the kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian, along with others slain. They also killed Balaam, Beor's son, with the sword.

9 The Israelites took captive the Midianite women, their little ones, all their cattle, their herds, and their possessions.

10 They burned all the cities where they lived and their encampments.

11 They took all the spoils of war and the valuable property, both human and animal,

12 and they brought the captives, the valuable property, and the spoils of war to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite community, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.

13 Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs of the community went to meet them outside the camp.

14 Moses became angry with the commanders of the army, the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds, who came back from the battle.

15 Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live?

16 These very women, on Balaam's advice, made the Israelites break faith with the LORD in the affair at Peor, so there was a plague among the LORD's community.

17 Now kill every male child and every female who has known a man intimately by sleeping with him.

18 But all the young girls who have not known a man intimately by sleeping with him, spare for yourselves.

19 You will remain outside the camp for seven days. Everyone among you or your captives who has killed a person or touched a corpse must purify themselves on the third and seventh days.

20 You must also purify every garment, and everything made of leather, goats' hair, or wood."

21 Eleazar the priest said to the men of battle who had gone out to war, "This is the regulation in the Instruction that the LORD commanded Moses:

22 Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead—

23 anything that can withstand fire—you will put through the fire and it will be clean. It will also be purified with the water of purification. Anything that isn't able to withstand fire, you will immerse in water.

24 You must wash your clothes on the seventh day and you will be clean. Afterward you may enter the camp."

25 The LORD said to Moses:

26 You, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community's households must take an inventory of the valuable property and the captives, both human and animals,

27 and divide the valuable property between the warriors who went into battle and the entire community.

28 You will offer as tribute to the LORD from each warrior who went into battle one living being in five hundred, whether human, oxen, donkeys, or flocks.

29 Take it from the warriors' half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a gift offering to the LORD.

30 But from the Israelites' half you will take one out of every fifty, whether from human, oxen, donkeys, or flock—all the animals. You will give them to the Levites who carry out the duties of the LORD's dwelling.

31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 The valuable property remaining from the spoils of war that the people of the army had taken was 675,000 sheep,

33 72,000 oxen,

34 61,000 donkeys,

35 and 32,000 women who hadn't known a man intimately by sleeping with him.

36 The half-share of those who had gone out to battle numbered 337,500 sheep,

37 of which the LORD's tribute was 675.

38 The oxen were 36,000, of which the LORD's tribute was 72.

39 The donkeys were 30,500, of which the LORD's tribute was 61.

40 Humans were 16,000, of which the LORD's tribute was 32 persons.

41 Moses gave the tribute, a gift offering for the LORD, to Eleazar the priest as the LORD had commanded Moses.

42 As for the half-share of the Israelites that Moses divided from those who had gone out to battle:

43 the community's half-share was 337,500 sheep,

44 36,000 oxen,

45 30,500 donkeys,

46 and 16,000 humans.

47 Moses took from the Israelites' half one out of every fifty, from humans and animals. He gave them to the Levites who carry out the duties of the LORD's dwelling, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

48 The commanders over the thousands of the army, officers over thousands and officers over hundreds, approached Moses

49 and said to Moses, "Your servants have counted the warriors in our charge and not one of us is missing.

50 We have brought the LORD's offering that each found, gold articles—anklets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces—to seek reconciliation for ourselves before the LORD."

51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took all the gold articles from them.

52 All the gold for the gift offering that was presented to the LORD from the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.

53 Each of the men of battle took spoils of war for himself.

54 Yet Moses and Eleazar the priest also received the gold from the officers of thousands and of hundreds, and they brought it to the meeting tent as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.

English Standard Version ESV

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people. ”

3 So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord’s vengeance on Midian.

4 You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war. ”

5 So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, together with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.

7 They warred against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and killed every male.

8 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. And they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.

9 And the people of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, and they took as plunder all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods.

10 All their cities in the places where they lived, and all their encampments, they burned with fire,

11 and took all the spoil and all the plunder, both of man and of beast.

12 Then they brought the captives and the plunder and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

13 Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the chiefs of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.

14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.

15 Moses said to them, “Have you let all the women live?

16 Behold, these, on Balaam’s advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the Lord in the incident of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the Lord.

17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.

18 But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.

19 Encamp outside the camp seven days. Whoever of you has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.

20 You shall purify every garment, every article of skin, all work of goats’ hair, and every article of wood. ”

21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men in the army who had gone to battle: “This is the statute of the law that the Lord has commanded Moses:

22 only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

23 everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless, it shall also be purified with the water for impurity. And whatever cannot stand the fire, you shall pass through the water.

24 You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. And afterward you may come into the camp. ”

25 The Lord said to Moses,

26 “Take the count of the plunder that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the congregation,

27 and divide the plunder into two parts between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.

28 And levy for the Lord a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the people and of the oxen and of the donkeys and of the flocks.

29 Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to the Lord.

30 And from the people of Israel’s half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who keep guard over the tabernacle of the Lord. ”

31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

32 Now the plunder remaining of the spoil that the army took was 675,000 sheep,

33 72,000 cattle,

34 61,000 donkeys,

35 and 32,000 persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him.

36 And the half, the portion of those who had gone out in the army, numbered 337,500 sheep,

37 and the Lord’s tribute of sheep was 675.

38 The cattle were 36,000, of which the Lord’s tribute was 72.

39 The donkeys were 30,500, of which the Lord’s tribute was 61.

40 The persons were 16,000, of which the Lord’s tribute was 32 persons.

41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the contribution for the Lord, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

42 From the people of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had served in the army—

43 now the congregation’s half was 337,500 sheep,

44 36,000 cattle,

45 and 30,500 donkeys,

46 and 16,000 persons—

47 from the people of Israel’s half Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who kept guard over the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

48 Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, came near to Moses

49 and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.

50 And we have brought the Lord’s offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord. ”

51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold, all crafted articles.

52 And all the gold of the contribution that they presented to the Lord, from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, was 16,750 shekels.

53 (The men in the army had each taken plunder for himself. )

54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the people of Israel before the Lord.
