1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 Exact thou, the avenging of the sons of Israel, from the Midianites,––and, afterwards, shalt thou be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk.
3 So Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye from among you men, for the war,––and let them go against Midian, to render the avenging of Yahweh upon Midian.
4 A thousand from each tribe,––of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send forth unto the war.
5 And there volunteered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of each tribe,––twelve thousand, armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of each tribe, to the war,––them, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary, and the alarm trumpets, in his hand.
7 So they made war upon Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses,––and slew every male: 8 and, the kings of Midian, slew they besides their other slain––namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian,––Balaam also, son of Beor, slew they with the sword. 9 And the sons of Israel took captive the women of Midian, and their little ones,––all their cattle also, and all their flocks, and all their substance, carried they off as a prey; 10 all their cities also, in their sites, and all their encampments, burned they up with fire. 11 Then took they all the spoil, and all the booty,––both of man and beast; 12 and brought in unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel––the captives, and the booty, and the spoil, unto the camp,––unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.
