Numbers 31

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 Avenge [the] vengeance of [the] people of Israel from with the Midianites (after *LP) you will be gathered to people your.

Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shall you be gathered unto your people.

3 And he spoke Moses to the people saying be equipped from with you men for war so they may be on Midian to give [the] vengeance of Yahweh on Midian.

And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

4 One thousand to the tribe one thousand to the tribe for all [the] tribes of Israel you will send out to war.

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

5 And they were selected from [the] thousands of Israel one thousand to the tribe two plus ten thousand armed [men] of war.

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

6 And he sent them Moses one thousand to the tribe to war them and Phinehas [the] son of Eleazar the priest to war and [the] vessels of the holy place and [the] trumpets of the alarm [were] in hand his.

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.

7 And they waged war on Midian just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses and they killed every male.

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

8 And [the] kings of Midian they killed with slain [ones] their Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba [the] five [the] kings of Midian and Balaam [the] son of Beor they killed with the sword.

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.

9 And they took captive [the] people of Israel [the] women of Midian and little one[s] their and all cattle their and all livestock their and all wealth their they plundered.

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.

10 And all cities their in dwelling places their and all encampments their they burned with fire.

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

11 And they took all the plunder and all the booty among humankind and among the livestock.

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

12 And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel the captive[s] and the booty and the plunder to the camp to [the] plains of Moab which [were] at [the] Jordan of Jericho.

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.

13 And they went out Moses and Eleazar the priest and all [the] leaders of the congregation to meet them to from [the] outside of the camp.

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

14 And he was angry Moses towards [the] officers of the army [the] commanders of the thousands and [the] commanders of the hundreds who were coming from [the] war of the battle.

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

15 And he said to them Moses ¿ have you let live every female.

And Moses said unto them, Have all of you saved all the women alive?

16 There! they they were to [the] people of Israel by [the] word of Balaam to offer unfaithfulness in Yahweh on [the] matter of Peor and it was the plague among [the] congregation of Yahweh.

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.

17 And therefore kill every male among the little one[s] and every woman [who has] known a man to [the] lying of a male kill.

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

18 And all the little one[s] among the women who not they have known lying of a male preserve alive for yourselves.

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

19 And you encamp from [the] outside of the camp seven days any [one who] has killed anyone and any - [one who] has touched the [one] slain you will purify yourselves on the day third and on the day seventh you and captive[s] your.

And do all of you abide without the camp seven days: whosoever has killed any person, and whosoever has touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

20 And every garment and every article of hide and every product of goat hair and every article of wood you will purify yourselves.

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

21 And he said Eleazar the priest to [the] men of the army who had gone to the battle this [is] [the] statute of the law which he commanded Yahweh Moses.

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;

22 Only the gold and the silver the bronze the iron the tin and the lead.

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

23 Every thing which it will go in the fire you will make pass in the fire and it will be pure nevertheless by [the] water of impurity it will purify itself and all that not it will go in the fire you will make pass in the water.

Every thing that may abide the fire, all of you 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 abides not the fire all of you shall make go through the water.

24 And you will wash clothes your on the day seventh and you will be pure and after you will come to the camp.

And all of you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and all of you shall be clean, and afterward all of you shall come into the camp.

25 And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

26 Lift up [the] head of [the] booty of captivity among humankind and among the livestock you and Eleazar the priest and [the] leaders of [the] fathers of the congregation.

Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

27 And you will divide the booty between [those] skilled of the battle who went out to war and between all the congregation.

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:

28 And you will raise a tax for Yahweh from with [the] men of war who went out to war one person from [the] five hundred from humankind and from the cattle and from the donkeys and from the sheep.

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:

29 From half their you will take [it] and you will give [it] to Eleazar the priest [the] contribution of Yahweh.

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

30 And from [the] half of [the] people of Israel you will take - one - [person] drawn from the fifty from humankind from the cattle from the donkeys and from the sheep from all the livestock and you will give them to the Levites [who] keep [the] service of [the] tabernacle of Yahweh.

And of the children of Israel's half, you shall 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.

31 And he did Moses and Eleazar the priest just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

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

32 And it was the booty [the] remainder of the plunder which they had plundered [the] people of the army sheep six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand.

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,

33 And cattle two and seventy thousand.

And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

34 And donkeys one and sixty thousand.

And threescore and one thousand asses,

35 And [the] person[s] of humankind from the women who not they had known lying of a male every person two and thirty thousand.

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

36 And it was the half [the] portion of those [who] had gone out in the army [the] number of the sheep [was] three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred.

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:

37 And it was the tax for Yahweh from the sheep six hundred five and seventy.

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

38 And the cattle [were] six and thirty thousand and tax their for Yahweh [was] two and seventy.

40 And [the] person[s] of humankind [were] six-teen thousand and tax their for Yahweh [was] two and thirty person[s].

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

41 And he gave Moses [the] tax of [the] contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

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

42 And from [the] half of [the] people of Israel which he had divided Moses from the men who had gone to war.

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

43 And it was [the] half of the congregation from the sheep three hundred thousand and thirty thousand seven thousand and five hundred.

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

44 And cattle six and thirty thousand.

And thirty and six thousand beeves,

45 And donkeys thirty thousand and five hundred.

And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

47 And he took Moses from [the] half of [the] people of Israel those drawn one from the fifty from humankind and from the livestock and he gave them to the Levites [who] keep [the] service of [the] tabernacle of Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

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.

48 And they drew near to Moses the officers who [were] of [the] thousands of the army [the] commanders of the thousands and [the] commanders of the hundreds.

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

49 And they said to Moses servants your they have lifted up [the] head of [the] men of war who [were] in hand our and not he is missing from us anyone.

And they said unto Moses, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us.

50 And we have brought near [the] offering of Yahweh everyone [that] which he found an article of gold an armlet and a bracelet a signet-ring an earring and an ornament to make atonement on selves our before Yahweh.

We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man has got, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

51 And he took Moses and Eleazar the priest the gold from with them every article of work.

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

52 And it was - all [the] gold of the contribution which they raised for Yahweh six-teen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekel[s] from with [the] commanders of the thousands and from with [the] commanders of the hundreds.

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.

53 [the] men of The army they had taken plunder everyone for himself.

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

54 And he took Moses and Eleazar the priest the gold from with [the] commanders of the thousands and the hundreds and they brought it into [the] tent of meeting a memorial for [the] people of Israel before Yahweh.

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.
