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 spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah’s vengeance on Midian.

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.

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

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

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 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 they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew every male.

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 they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew 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 the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.

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 in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.

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 took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

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 the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at 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 congregation, 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,

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 all the women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive 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 encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.

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 as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.

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.

21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:

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

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,

23everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.

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

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 divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation.

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 levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks:

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.

29take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah’s heave-offering.

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.

30And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
