Numbers 31

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.

2`Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites--afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.'

2Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.

3And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.

3And Moses speaketh unto the people, saying, `Be ye armed some of you for the host, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of Jehovah on Midian;

3And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.

4Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.

4a thousand for a tribe--a thousand for a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel--ye do send to the host.'

4Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

5And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.

5And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host;

5And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

6And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.

6and Moses sendeth them, a thousand for a tribe, to the host, them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the host; and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the shouting, in his hand.

6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.

7And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.

7And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses, and slay every male;

7And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.

8And their kings Evi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, five princes of the nation: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword.

8and the kings of Midian they have slain, besides their pierced ones, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor, they have slain with the sword.

8And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

9And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:

9And the sons of Israel take captive the women of Midian, and their infants; and all their cattle, and all their substance, and all their wealth they have plundered;

9And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;

10And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.

10and all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, they have burnt with fire.

10and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.

11And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.

11And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast;

11And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;

12And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho.

12and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which <FI>are<Fi> by Jordan, <FI>near<Fi> Jericho.

12and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho.

13And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.

13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the company, go out to meet them, unto the outside of the camp,

13And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.

14And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,

14and Moses is wroth against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the host of the battle.

14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;

15Said: Why have you saved the women?

15And Moses saith unto them, `Have ye kept alive every female?

15and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

16Are not these they, that deceived the children of Israel by the counsel of Balaam, and made you transgress against the Lord by the sin of Phogor, for which also the people was punished?

16lo, they--they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the company of Jehovah.

16Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.

17Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.

17`And now, slay ye every male among the infants, yea, every woman known of man by the lying of a male ye have slain;

17And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,

18But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:

18and all the infants among the women, who have not known the lying of a male, ye have kept alive for yourselves.

18but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.

19And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day.

19`And ye, encamp ye at the outside of the camp seven days--any who hath slain a person, and any who hath come against a pierced one, ye cleanse yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day--ye and your captives;

19And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

20And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified.

20and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats' <FI>hair<Fi> , and every wooden vessel, ye yourselves cleanse.'

20And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.

21Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:

21And Eleazar the priest saith unto the men of the host who go in to battle, `This <FI>is<Fi> the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:

21And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

22Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,

22only, the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

22Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

23And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation:

23every thing which may go into fire, ye cause to pass over through fire, and it hath been clean; only, with the water of separation it is cleansed, and all that may not go into fire, ye cause to pass over through water;

23everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water.

24And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.

24and ye have washed your garments on the seventh day, and have been clean, and afterwards ye come in unto the camp.'

24And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.

25And the Lord said to Moses:

25And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

25And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

26Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:

26`Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the company;

26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;

27And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.

27and thou hast halved the prey between those handling the battle who go out to the host and all the company;

27and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.

28And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep.

28and thou hast raised a tribute to Jehovah from the men of war, who go out to the host, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the asses, and of the flock;

28And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.

29And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.

29from their half ye do take, and thou hast given to Eleazar the priest--the heave-offering of Jehovah.

29Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.

30Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.

30`And from the sons of Israel's half thou dost take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the asses, and of the flock, of all the cattle, and thou hast given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.'

30And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.

31And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.

31And Moses doth--Eleazar the priest also--as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

32And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,

32And the prey, the residue of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is of the flock six hundred thousand, and seventy thousand, and five thousand;

35and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.

36And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:

36And the half--the portion of those who go out into the host--the number of the flock is three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, and seven thousand and five hundred.

36And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

37Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy five sheep.

37And the tribute to Jehovah of the sheep is six hundred five and seventy;

37and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;

38And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:

38and the herd <FI>is<Fi> six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> two and seventy;

38and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;

40Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.

40and the human beings <FI>are<Fi> sixteen thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> two and thirty persons.

40and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.

41And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,

41And Moses giveth the tribute--Jehovah's heave-offering--to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

41And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

42Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.

42And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from the men who war--

42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,

43But out of the half that fell to the rest of the multitude, that is to say, out of the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

43and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred;

43(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,

44And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,

44and of the herd six and thirty thousand;

44and thirty-six thousand oxen,

45And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,

45and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred;

45and thirty thousand five hundred asses,

46And out of the sixteen thousand persons,

46and of human beings sixteen thousand--

46and sixteen thousand human persons,)

47Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded.

47Moses taketh from the sons of Israel's half the one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and giveth them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

47...of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

48And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:

48And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host hath, (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near unto Moses,

48And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,

49We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting.

49and they say unto Moses, `Thy servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who <FI>are<Fi> with us, and not a man of us hath been missed;

49and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.

50Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us.

50and we bring near Jehovah's offering, each that which he hath found, vessels of gold--chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, <FI>ear<Fi> -ring, and bead--to make atonement for ourselves before Jehovah.'

50So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.

51And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,

51And Moses receiveth--Eleazar the priest also--the gold from them, every made vessel,

51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels.

52In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.

52and all the gold of the heave-offering which they have lifted up to Jehovah is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands, and from heads of the hundreds;

52And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.

53For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.

53(the men of the host have spoiled each for himself);

53(The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)

54And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.

54and Moses taketh--Eleazar the priest also--the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it in unto the tent of meeting--a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah.

54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
