1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Midianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people.
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for war, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Midian, to inflict vengeance on Midian from the Lord.
4 Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
5 And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of each tribe, twelve thousand; these were armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them away, a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest. And the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets were in their hands.
7 And they set themselves in array against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
8 And they killed the kings of Midian together with their slain subjects; even Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their other slain.
9 And they made a prey of the women of Midian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions; and they spoiled their forces.
10 And they burned with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation, and they burned their villages with fire.
11 And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
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 the Jordan by Jericho.
