RF NUM 31:1 War With Midian Commanded.
The EVER-LIVING spoke to Moses and said;—
RF NUM 31:2 "Arouse the children of Israel against the Midianites after you have enumerated your people."
RF NUM 31:3 Moses therefore spoke to the People saying;—"Select from yourselves officers for a war with the Midianites, for the LORD has ordered an advance against Midian,
RF NUM 31:4 of a thousand from each tribe, from all the tribes of Israel, to go upon an expedition.
RF NUM 31:5 "So they massed from the tribes of Israel, by a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand chosen for the war,
RF NUM 31:6 and Moses sent the thousand from each tribe to the war, with Phinehas the son of Aliazer the priest, and the sacred furniture, and the gongs in his possession to encourage them.
RF NUM 31:7 These made war against Midian as the EVER-LIVING commanded Moses, and slew every leader.
RF NUM 31:8 They also slew the kings of Midian in the slaughter, Air, and Rekem, and Tzur, and Khur, and Raba, the five kings of Midian, and also slew Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
RF NUM 31:9 Then the children of Israel took possession of the women of Midian, with their children, and all the cattle, and all their property, and all their people, as booty,
RF NUM 31:10 with all the villages which they inhabited, and burnt all their furniture with fire,
RF NUM 31:11 and carried off all the plunder, and all the spoil from the field and from the person.
RF NUM 31:12 Then they brought the captives to Moses, and Aliazer the priest, and to the Parliament of the children of Israel, along with the plunder, and the booty, to the camp at the Fords of Moab, which was beside the Torrent near Jeriko.
RF NUM 31:13 Then Moses and Aliazer the priest, with all the princes of the Parliament went out to meet them outside the camp.
RF NUM 31:14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the colonels of regiments, and captains of companies, who returned with the army from the war,
RF NUM 31:15 and Moses asked them; "Why have you kept the women alive!
RF NUM 31:16 What were they to the children of Israel under the advice of Balaam?—They seduced them to desert the EVER-LIVING in the affair of Peor, and they brought a pestilence upon the congregation of JEHOVAH.
RF NUM 31:17 Now, therefore, kill every male child, and every woman who has known man sexually,—kill!
RF NUM 31:18 But let every young girl who has not known a man sexually live for yourselves.
RF NUM 31:19 Also pitch your tents outside the camp for seven days, all who have killed a person, or been wounded in battle. You must be cleansed from defilement at the sixth day, and on the seventh day, you and your prisoners,
RF NUM 31:20 and all your clothing and every article of leather, and all fabrics of hair, and every article of wood, shall be cleansed."
RF NUM 31:21 The Law of Prize in War, and its Purification.
Then Aliazer the priest said to the commanders of the army who came from the war, "This is the Constitutional Law which the EVER-LIVING has commanded to Moses.
RF NUM 31:22 All the gold and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, the tin, and the lead,
RF NUM 31:23 all things which can resist fire, you shall put through the fire to purify them; but everything that is not able to endure fire shall be cleansed by passing through water, by washing in water.
RF NUM 31:24 You shall also wash your clothes on the seventh day, and purify yourselves, and afterwards you may enter the camp."
RF NUM 31:25 Law of Dividing Booty of War.
The EVER-LIVING also spoke to Moses and said;
RF NUM 31:26 "You, and Aliazer, and the princes of the fathers of the Parliament, take an account of the booty of the prisoners; both of the men and of the cattle,
RF NUM 31:27 and divide the booty among the captors of the brigade who brought it from the campaign, and among all their people.
RF NUM 31:28 But take off a tax from them for the EVER-LIVING from the soldiers who actually went into battle, one head from five hundred of the men, and of the cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep.
RF NUM 31:29 You shall take it from their share, and give it to Aliazer the priest, as a tax for the EVER-LIVING.
RF NUM 31:30 But from the share for the children of Israel you shall take one from every fifty of the men, of the cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep, and from all the animals, and give them to the Levites who form the guard of the sanctuary of the EVER-LIVING."
RF NUM 31:31 Moses and Aliazer therefore did as JEHOVAH commanded to Moses;
RF NUM 31:32 and the prize, beside the plunder that the People plundered in the army,—was of sheep six hundred and seventy-five thousand,
RF NUM 31:33 and of cattle seventy-two thousand;
RF NUM 31:34 and of asses sixty-one thousand,
RF NUM 31:35 and of persons, with the girls who had not known man sexually, all the human individuals were thirty-two thousand.
RF NUM 31:36 But the half of the booty that came to the army was;—from the number of sheep three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, and five hundred.
RF NUM 31:37 And the tax of the LORD from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;
RF NUM 31:38 and of cattle thirty-six thousand; and the tax to the LORD seventy-two.
RF NUM 31:39 And of asses thirty thousand and five hundred; and the tax for the LORD was sixty-one.
RF NUM 31:40 And of human beings, sixteen thousand; and the tax for the EVER-LIVING thirty-two persons.
RF NUM 31:41 And Moses gave the taxes which were the LORD'S, as a raised offering, to Aliazer the priest, as the EVER-LIVING commanded to Moses.
RF NUM 31:42 But the portion of the children of Israel, which Moses took from the soldiers, and which was
RF NUM 31:43 the share of the Parliament,—was of sheep three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, and five hundred;
RF NUM 31:44 and of cattle, thirty-six thousand,
RF NUM 31:45 and of asses thirty thousand, five hundred;
RF NUM 31:46 and of human beings sixteen thousand.
RF NUM 31:47 Moses also took from this share of the children of Israel one from every fifty, both of the men, and of the beasts, and gave them to the Levites of the guard who guarded the sanctuary of the EVER-LIVING, as the LORD commanded to Moses.
RF NUM 31:48 The Army Officers Offer a Free Gift.
Then the officers of the regiments of the army—the colonels of regiments, and the captains of companies, presented themselves to Moses,
RF NUM 31:49 and said to Moses;—"Your servants were promoted to be the chief commanders in the campaign which is in our hand, and not a man of us is missing,
RF NUM 31:50 therefore we present this gift to the EVER-LIVING, each from what he has found of articles of gold, anklets, and bracelets, seals, earrings, and beads, to expiate for our persons before the EVER-LIVING, for our lives."
RF NUM 31:51 Moses and Aliazer the priest, therefore, accepted from them all these articles made of gold.
RF NUM 31:52 And the weight of the gold presented to the EVER-LIVING by the colonels of the regiments, and the captains of companies, was sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels;
RF NUM 31:53 for the commanders in the army had each plundered for themselves;
RF NUM 31:54 so Moses and Aliazer the priest accepted the gold from the commanders of regiments and companies, and brought it into the Hall of Assembly, as a remembrance from the children of Israel before JEHOVAH.
