Numbers 31:39
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
||
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian. |
||
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. |
||
And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. |
||
And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. |
||
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. |
||
¶And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. |
||
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? |
||
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. |
||
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. |
||
¶And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses; |
||
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. |
||
¶And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
||
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: |
||
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the Lord. |
||
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. |
||
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, |
||
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. |
||
And the Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. |
||
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and one. |
||
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. |
||
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, |
||
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, |
||
Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses. |
||
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. |
||
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. |
||
(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) |
