CLV(i)
2 Avenge the sons of Israel with vengeance on the Midianites; and afterward you shall be gathered to your people.
3 Then Moses spoke to the people, saying:Outfit men from among you as a militia host that they may come against Midian to deliver the vengeance of Yahweh on Midian.
4 A thousand per stock, a thousand per stock from all the stocks of Israel shall you send as the militia host.
5 So they withdrew from the thousands of Israel a thousand per stock, twelve thousand outfitted as the militia host.
6 Then Moses sent them out, a thousand per stock, as the militia host, and with them Phineas son of Eleazar the priest for the militia host, with the furnishings of the sanctuary and the bugles for the blast in his hand.
