Numbers 31

1 Then the Lord said to Moses,

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

2 Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.

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

3 So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

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.

4 From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.

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

5 So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

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

6 And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

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.

7 And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.

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

8 They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

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.

9 The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

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.

10 And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,

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

11 They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.

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

12 And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

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.

13 Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.

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.

14 And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

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.

15 And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?

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

16 It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

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.

17 So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.

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.

18 But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

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

19 You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.

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.

20 And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.

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

21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:

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.

22 But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,

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

23 And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.

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.

24 And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.

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

25 And the Lord said to Moses,

And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.

26 Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:

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.

27 And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

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

28 And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:

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.

29 Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.

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

30 And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

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.

31 So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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

32 Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

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.

33 And seventy-two thousand oxen,

And cattle two and seventy thousand.

34 And sixty-one thousand asses;

And donkeys one and sixty thousand.

35 And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

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

36 And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

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.

37 Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.

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

38 The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;

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

39 The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.

And donkeys [were] thirty thousand and five hundred and tax their for Yahweh [was] one and sixty.

40 And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.

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

41 And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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

42 And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,

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

43 (Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

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

44 And thirty-six thousand oxen,

And cattle six and thirty thousand.

45 And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,

And donkeys thirty thousand and five hundred.

46 And sixteen thousand persons; )

And person[s] of humankind six-teen thousand.

47 Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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.

48 Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

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.

49 And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

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.

50 And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.

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.

51 So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

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

52 And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.

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.

53 (For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.)

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

54 Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.

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.
