Numbers 31

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

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

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

3And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of 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.

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

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

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

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

5So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

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

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

6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow 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.

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.

7And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

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

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

8And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew 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.

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.

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

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;

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

10And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

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

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

11And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.

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

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

12And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near 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.

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.

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

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

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

14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from 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;

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

15And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

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

15Said: Why have you saved the women?

16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.

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.

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?

17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

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

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

18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

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

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

19And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

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.

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.

20And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.

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

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.

21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord 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.

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:

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,

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

23Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the 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.

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:

24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into 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.

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

25And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

25And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

25And the Lord said to Moses:

26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

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;

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:

27And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

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

28And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

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.

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.

29Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the Lord.

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

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

30And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.

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.

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.

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

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

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

35And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.

36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

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,

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

37And the Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

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

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

38And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and twelve.

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

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

39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and one.

39and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;

39Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:

40And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty and two persons.

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

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

41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

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

42And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

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

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

43(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

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

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,

44And thirty and six thousand beeves,

44and thirty-six thousand oxen,

44And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,

45And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

45and thirty thousand five hundred asses,

45And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,

46And sixteen thousand persons;)

46and sixteen thousand human persons,)

46And out of the sixteen thousand persons,

47Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord 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.

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

48And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came 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,

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

49And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

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.

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.

50We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

53(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

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

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

54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.

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.
