1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

2 Reuenge the children of Israel of the Midianites, and afterwarde shalt thou be gathered vnto thy people.

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

3 And Moses spake to the people, saying, Harnesse some of you vnto warre, and let them goe against Midian, to execute the vengeance of the Lord against Midian.

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 A thousande of euery tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye sende to the warre.

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

5 So there were taken out of the thousands of Israel, twelue thousande prepared vnto warre, of euery tribe a thousand.

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 to the warre, euen a thousand of euery tribe, and sent them with Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest to the warre: and the holy instruments, that is, the trumpets to blow were in his hand.

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 warred against Midian, as the Lord had commanded Moses, and slue all the males.

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

8 They slue also the Kings of Midian among them that were slaine: Eui and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur and Reba fiue kings of Midian, and they slue Balaam the sonne of Beor with the sworde:

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 But the children of Israel tooke the women of Midian prisoners, and their children, and spoyled all their cattell, and all their flockes, and all their goods.

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 they burnt all their cities, wherein they dwelt, and all their villages with fire.

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

11 And they tooke all the spoyle and all the pray both of men and beastes.

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

12 And they brought the captiues and that which they had taken, and the spoyle vnto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and vnto the Congregation of the children of Israel, into ye campe in the playne of Moab, which was by Iorden toward Iericho.

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 all the princes of the Congregation went out of the campe to meete them.

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 captaines of the hoste, with the captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, which came from the warre and battel.

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 sayde vnto them, What? haue ye saued all the women?

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

16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel through the counsell of Balaam to commit a trespasse against the Lord, as concerning Peor, and there came a plague among the Congregation 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 Now therefore, slay all the males among the children, and kill all the women that haue knowen man by carnall copulation.

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 women children that haue not knowen carnall copulation, keepe aliue for your selues.

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

19 And ye shall remaine without the host seuen dayes, all that haue killed any person, and all that haue touched any dead, and purifie both your selues and your prisoners the third day and the seuenth.

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 Also ye shall purifie euery garment and all that is made of skins and al worke of goates heare, and all things made of wood.

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

21 And Eleazar ye Priest sayd vnto the men of warre, which went to the battel, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded 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 As for gold, and siluer, brasse, yron, tynne, and lead:

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

23 Euen all that may abide the fire, yee shall make it goe through the fire, and it shalbe cleane: yet, it shalbe purified with the water of purification: and all that suffereth not the fire, yee shall cause to passe by 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 Ye shall wash also your clothes the seuenth day, and ye shalbe cleane: and afterward ye shall come into the Hoste.

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 spake vnto Moses, saying,

And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.

26 Take the summe of the praie that was taken, both of persons and of cattell, thou and Eleazar the Priest, and the chiefe fathers of the Congregation.

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 deuide the praye betweene the souldiers that went to the warre, and all the Congregation.

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

28 And thou shalt take a tribute vnto ye Lord of the men of warre, which went out to battel: one person of fiue hundreth, both of the persons, and of the beeues, and of the asses, and of the sheepe.

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 Yee shall take it of their halfe and giue it vnto Eleazar the Priest, as an heaue offring of the Lord.

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

30 But of the halfe of the children of Israel thou shalt take one, taken out of fiftie, both of the persons, of the beeues, of the asses, and of the sheepe, euen of all the cattel: and thou shalt giue them vnto the Leuites, which haue the charge of the Tabernacle 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.

48 Then the captaines which were ouer thousandes of the hoste, the captaines ouer the thousandes, and the captaines ouer the hundreds came vnto Moses:
