1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Execute the vengeance of the children of Israel on the Midianites, after which thou shalt be gathered unto thy people.
3 And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm from yourselves some men for the army, and let them go against the Midianites, to execute the vengeance of the Lord on Midian.
4 A thousand each for every tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the army.
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for the army.
6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the army; them and Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest, to the army, with the holy vessels, and the trumpets for blowing the alarm in his hand.
7 And they marched out against the Midianites, as the Lord had commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
8 And the kings of Midian they slew, besides the rest of their men that were slain; namely, Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Chur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; and Bil’am the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took captives the women of Midian, and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as spoil.
10 And all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their castles they burnt with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the booty, both of men and of cattle.
12 And they brought unto Moses, and to Elazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, the captives, and the booty, and the spoil, unto the camp, to the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
