במדבר 31
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
| נְקֹם נִקְמַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֵת הַמִּדְיָנִים אַחַר תֵּאָסֵף אֶל־עַמֶּֽיךָ׃ | 2 |
Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people.
| וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־הָעָם לֵאמֹר הֵחָלְצוּ מֵאִתְּכֶם אֲנָשִׁים לַצָּבָא וְיִהְיוּ עַל־מִדְיָן לָתֵת נִקְמַת־יְהוָה בְּמִדְיָֽן׃ | 3 |
And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.
| אֶלֶף לַמַּטֶּה אֶלֶף לַמַּטֶּה לְכֹל מַטּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל תִּשְׁלְחוּ לַצָּבָֽא׃ | 4 |
Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
| וַיִּמּֽ͏ָסְרוּ מֵאַלְפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶלֶף לַמַּטֶּה שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂר אֶלֶף חֲלוּצֵי צָבָֽא׃ | 5 |
And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה אֶלֶף לַמַּטֶּה לַצָּבָא אֹתָם וְאֶת־פִּינְחָס בֶּן־אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן לַצָּבָא וּכְלֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַחֲצֹצְרוֹת הַתְּרוּעָה בְּיָדֽוֹ׃ | 6 |
And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
| וַֽיִּצְבְּאוּ עַל־מִדְיָן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה וַיַּֽהַרְגוּ כָּל־זָכָֽר׃ | 7 |
And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
| וְאֶת־מַלְכֵי מִדְיָן הָרְגוּ עַל־חַלְלֵיהֶם אֶת־אֱוִי וְאֶת־רֶקֶם וְאֶת־צוּר וְאֶת־חוּר וְאֶת־רֶבַע חֲמֵשֶׁת מַלְכֵי מִדְיָן וְאֵת בִּלְעָם בֶּן־בְּעוֹר הָרְגוּ בֶּחָֽרֶב׃ | 8 |
And they killed the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
| וַיִּשְׁבּוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־נְשֵׁי מִדְיָן וְאֶת־טַפָּם וְאֵת כָּל־בְּהֶמְתָּם וְאֶת־כָּל־מִקְנֵהֶם וְאֶת־כָּל־חֵילָם בָּזָֽזוּ׃ | 9 |
And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
| וְאֵת כָּל־עָרֵיהֶם בְּמוֹשְׁבֹתָם וְאֵת כָּל־טִֽירֹתָם שָׂרְפוּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ | 10 |
And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire.
| וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת־כָּל־הַשָּׁלָל וְאֵת כָּל־הַמַּלְקוֹחַ בָּאָדָם וּבַבְּהֵמָֽה׃ | 11 |
And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
| וַיָּבִאוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל־אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶל־עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַשְּׁבִי וְאֶת־הַמַּלְקוֹחַ וְאֶת־הַשָּׁלָל אֶל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶה אֶל־עַֽרְבֹת מוֹאָב אֲשֶׁר עַל־יַרְדֵּן יְרֵחֽוֹ׃ | 12 |
And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
| וַיֵּצְאוּ מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְכָל־נְשִׂיאֵי הָעֵדָה לִקְרָאתָם אֶל־מִחוּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ | 13 |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.
| וַיִּקְצֹף מֹשֶׁה עַל פְּקוּדֵי הֶחָיִל שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמֵּאוֹת הַבָּאִים מִצְּבָא הַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ | 14 |
And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מֹשֶׁה הַֽחִיִּיתֶם כָּל־נְקֵבָֽה׃ | 15 |
And Moses said to them, Why have you saved every female alive?
| הֵן הֵנָּה הָיוּ לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְבַר בִּלְעָם לִמְסָר־מַעַל בַּיהוָה עַל־דְּבַר־פְּעוֹר וַתְּהִי הַמַּגֵּפָה בַּעֲדַת יְהוָֽה׃ | 16 |
For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
| וְעַתָּה הִרְגוּ כָל־זָכָר בַּטָּף וְכָל־אִשָּׁה יֹדַעַת אִישׁ לְמִשְׁכַּב זָכָר הֲרֹֽגוּ׃ | 17 |
Now then kill every male in all the spoil, kill every woman, who has known the lying with man.
| וְכֹל הַטַּף בַּנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדְעוּ מִשְׁכַּב זָכָר הַחֲיוּ לָכֶֽם׃ | 18 |
And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save you them alive.
| וְאַתֶּם חֲנוּ מִחוּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים כֹּל הֹרֵג נֶפֶשׁ וְכֹל ׀ נֹגֵעַ בֶּֽחָלָל תִּֽתְחַטְּאוּ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי אַתֶּם וּשְׁבִיכֶֽם׃ | 19 |
And you shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and you and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
| וְכָל־בֶּגֶד וְכָל־כְּלִי־עוֹר וְכָל־מַעֲשֵׂה עִזִּים וְכָל־כְּלִי־עֵץ תִּתְחַטָּֽאוּ׃ | 20 |
And you shall purify every garment and every leather utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן אֶל־אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא הַבָּאִים לַמִּלְחָמָה זֹאת חֻקַּת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ | 21 |
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
| אַךְ אֶת־הַזָּהָב וְאֶת־הַכָּסֶף אֶֽת־הַנְּחֹשֶׁת אֶת־הַבַּרְזֶל אֶֽת־הַבְּדִיל וְאֶת־הָעֹפָֽרֶת׃ | 22 |
Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
| כָּל־דָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־יָבֹא בָאֵשׁ תַּעֲבִירוּ בָאֵשׁ וְטָהֵר אַךְ בְּמֵי נִדָּה יִתְחַטָּא וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יָבֹא בָּאֵשׁ תַּעֲבִירוּ בַמָּֽיִם׃ | 23 |
every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
| וְכִבַּסְתֶּם בִּגְדֵיכֶם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּטְהַרְתֶּם וְאַחַר תָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ | 24 |
And on the seventh day you shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards you shall come into the camp.
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ | 25 |
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
| שָׂא אֵת רֹאשׁ מַלְקוֹחַ הַשְּׁבִי בָּאָדָם וּבַבְּהֵמָה אַתָּה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְרָאשֵׁי אֲבוֹת הָעֵדָֽה׃ | 26 |
Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
| וְחָצִיתָ אֶת־הַמַּלְקוֹחַ בֵּין תֹּפְשֵׂי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַיֹּצְאִים לַצָּבָא וּבֵין כָּל־הָעֵדָֽה׃ | 27 |
And you shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
| וַהֲרֵמֹתָ מֶכֶס לַֽיהוָה מֵאֵת אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַיֹּצְאִים לַצָּבָא אֶחָד נֶפֶשׁ מֵחֲמֵשׁ הַמֵּאוֹת מִן־הָאָדָם וּמִן־הַבָּקָר וּמִן־הַחֲמֹרִים וּמִן־הַצֹּֽאן׃ | 28 |
And you shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and you shall take from their half.
| מִמַּֽחֲצִיתָם תִּקָּחוּ וְנָתַתָּה לְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן תְּרוּמַת יְהוָֽה׃ | 29 |
And you shall give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first fruits of the Lord.
| וּמִמַּחֲצִת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל תִּקַּח ׀ אֶחָד ׀ אָחֻז מִן־הַחֲמִשִּׁים מִן־הָאָדָם מִן־הַבָּקָר מִן־הַחֲמֹרִים וּמִן־הַצֹּאן מִכָּל־הַבְּהֵמָה וְנָתַתָּה אֹתָם לַלְוִיִּם שֹׁמְרֵי מִשְׁמֶרֶת מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָֽה׃ | 30 |
And from the half belonging to the children of Israel you shall take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and you shall give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
| וַיַּעַשׂ מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ | 31 |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
| וַיְהִי הַמַּלְקוֹחַ יֶתֶר הַבָּז אֲשֶׁר בָּזְזוּ עַם הַצָּבָא צֹאן שֵׁשׁ־מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וְשִׁבְעִים אֶלֶף וַחֲמֵֽשֶׁת־אֲלָפִֽים׃ | 32 |
And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:
| וּבָקָר שְׁנַיִם וְשִׁבְעִים אָֽלֶף׃ | 33 |
and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
| וַחֲמֹרִים אֶחָד וְשִׁשִּׁים אָֽלֶף׃ | 34 |
and asses, sixty-one thousand.
| וְנֶפֶשׁ אָדָם מִן־הַנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יָדְעוּ מִשְׁכַּב זָכָר כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אָֽלֶף׃ | 35 |
And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.
| וַתְּהִי הַֽמֶּחֱצָה חֵלֶק הַיֹּצְאִים בַּצָּבָא מִסְפַּר הַצֹּאן שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃ | 36 |
And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
| וַיְהִי הַמֶּכֶס לַֽיהוָה מִן־הַצֹּאן שֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת חָמֵשׁ וְשִׁבְעִֽים׃ | 37 |
And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
| וְהַבָּקָר שִׁשָּׁה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אָלֶף וּמִכְסָם לַיהוָה שְׁנַיִם וְשִׁבְעִֽים׃ | 38 |
And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord seventy-two.
| וַחֲמֹרִים שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאוֹת וּמִכְסָם לַֽיהוָה אֶחָד וְשִׁשִּֽׁים׃ | 39 |
And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:
| וְנֶפֶשׁ אָדָם שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר אָלֶף וּמִכְסָם לַֽיהוָה שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁים נָֽפֶשׁ׃ | 40 |
and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
| וַיִּתֵּן מֹשֶׁה אֶת־מֶכֶס תְּרוּמַת יְהוָה לְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ | 41 |
And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;
| וּמִֽמַּחֲצִית בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר חָצָה מֹשֶׁה מִן־הָאֲנָשִׁים הַצֹּבְאִֽים׃ | 42 |
from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
| וַתְּהִי מֶחֱצַת הָעֵדָה מִן־הַצֹּאן שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃ | 43 |
And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
| וּבָקָר שִׁשָּׁה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אָֽלֶף׃ | 44 |
And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
| וַחֲמֹרִים שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃ | 45 |
asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
| וְנֶפֶשׁ אָדָם שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר אָֽלֶף׃ | 46 |
and persons, sixteen thousand.
| וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה מִמַּחֲצִת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הָֽאָחֻז אֶחָד מִן־הַחֲמִשִּׁים מִן־הָאָדָם וּמִן־הַבְּהֵמָה וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָם לַלְוִיִּם שֹֽׁמְרֵי מִשְׁמֶרֶת מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ | 47 |
And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fifties part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
| וַֽיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה הַפְּקֻדִים אֲשֶׁר לְאַלְפֵי הַצָּבָא שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמֵּאֽוֹת׃ | 48 |
And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
| וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה עֲבָדֶיךָ נָֽשְׂאוּ אֶת־רֹאשׁ אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדֵנוּ וְלֹא־נִפְקַד מִמֶּנּוּ אִֽישׁ׃ | 49 |
Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
| וַנַּקְרֵב אֶת־קָרְבַּן יְהוָה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר מָצָא כְלִֽי־זָהָב אֶצְעָדָה וְצָמִיד טַבַּעַת עָגִיל וְכוּמָז לְכַפֵּר עַל־נַפְשֹׁתֵינוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃ | 50 |
And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
| וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַזָּהָב מֵֽאִתָּם כֹּל כְּלִי מַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ | 51 |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
| וַיְהִי ׀ כָּל־זְהַב הַתְּרוּמָה אֲשֶׁר הֵרִימוּ לַֽיהוָה שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר אֶלֶף שְׁבַע־מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁקֶל מֵאֵת שָׂרֵי הֽ͏ָאֲלָפִים וּמֵאֵת שָׂרֵי הַמֵּאֽוֹת׃ | 52 |
And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
| אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא בָּזְזוּ אִישׁ לֽוֹ׃ | 53 |
For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
| וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַזָּהָב מֵאֵת שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וְהַמֵּאוֹת וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד זִכָּרוֹן לִבְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃ | 54 |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
