MLV(i)
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the sons of Israel of the Midianites. Afterward you will be gathered to your people.
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm men from among you* for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah's vengeance on Midian.
4 From every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you* will send to the war.
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7 And they warred against Midian as Jehovah commanded Moses and they killed every male. 8 And they killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword. 9 And the sons 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. 10 And all their cities in the places in which they dwelt and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of man and of beast. 12 And they brought the captives and the prey and the spoil, to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
