And the LORD said to Moses ... ,
| LXX |
“ Take vengeance ... on the Midianites for the Israelites .... After that , you will be gathered to your people. ”
| LXX |
So Moses told ... the people ... , “ Arm ... some of your men for war , that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
| LXX |
Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel - - .... ”
| LXX |
So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe - of Israel — twelve ... thousand armed for war.
| LXX |
And Moses sent - the thousand from each tribe into battle , - along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest , ... who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
| LXX |
Then they waged war against Midian , as the LORD - had commanded Moses , and they killed every male.
| LXX |
- Among the slain (were) - - Evi , - Rekem , - Zur , - Hur , - and Reba — the five kings of Midian. - They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
| LXX |
The Israelites ... captured - the Midianite - women and their children - , and they plundered all their herds , - - flocks , - - and goods.
| LXX |
Then they burned ... all the cities where (the Midianites) had lived , - as well as all their encampments ,
| LXX |
and carried away - all the plunder - and spoils , both people and animals.
| LXX |
They brought the captives , - spoils , - and plunder to Moses , to Eleazar the priest , and to the congregation ... of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab - , by the Jordan across from Jericho.
| LXX |
And Moses , Eleazar the priest , and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them ... outside the camp.
| LXX |
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army — the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds — who were returning from the battle.
| LXX |
“ Have you spared all the women ? ” he asked them. ...
| LXX |
“ Look , these women caused the sons of Israel , through the counsel of Balaam , to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor - , so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
| LXX |
So now , kill all the boys ... , as well as every woman who has had relations with ... ... a man ,
| LXX |
but spare every girl ... who has never had relations ... with a man.
| LXX |
All of you who have killed a person ... or touched the dead - are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify (both) yourselves and your captives.
| LXX |
And purify every garment - and leather ... good , everything made of goat’s hair , and every article of wood. ”
| LXX |
Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers ... who had gone into battle , “ This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded - Moses :
| LXX |
Only - the gold , - silver , - bronze , - iron , - tin , - and lead —
| LXX |
everything ... that can withstand the fire — must be put through the fire , and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
| LXX |
On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes , and you will be clean. After that you may enter ... the camp. ”
| LXX |
| LXX |
“ You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count - - of what was captured ... , (both) of man and beast.
| LXX |
Then divide - the captives between the troops ... who went out to battle ... and the rest of the congregation.
| LXX |
Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers ... who went into battle : one ... out of every five hundred , - whether persons , cattle , ... donkeys , ... or sheep.
| LXX |
Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
| LXX |
From the Israelites’ ... half , take one ... out of every fifty , whether persons , cattle , ... donkeys , ... sheep , (or) other animals , and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD. ”
| LXX |
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD - had commanded Moses ,
| LXX |
(and) this plunder remained from the spoils - the soldiers ... had taken : 675,000 {} ... ... ... ... ... ... sheep ,
| LXX |
| LXX |
| LXX |
and - - 32,000 {} ... ... - - women who had not slept with ... a man.
| LXX |
- This (was) the half portion for those who had gone to war - : 337500 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... sheep ,
| LXX |
including a tribute to the LORD of 675 ... ... ... - - ,
| LXX |
36,000 {} ... ... cattle , including a tribute to the LORD of 72 ... ,
| LXX |
{} 30,500 ... ... ... donkeys , including a tribute to the LORD of 61 ... ,
| LXX |
and 16,000 ... ... people ... , including a tribute to the LORD of 32 ... -.
| LXX |
Moses - gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD , as the LORD - had commanded Moses.
| LXX |
From the Israelites’ ... half , which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war ,
| LXX |
this half belonged to - the congregation ... : 337500 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... sheep ,
| LXX |
| LXX |
| LXX |
and 16,000 ... ... people ....
| LXX |
From the Israelites’ ... - half , Moses took one out of every fifty - persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD , as the LORD - had commanded him.
| LXX |
Then the officers who were over the units of the army — the commanders of thousands ... and of hundreds — approached ... Moses
| LXX |
and said ... - , “ Your servants have counted - - the soldiers - - under our command , and not one of us is missing.
| LXX |
So we have brought - to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man - acquired — armlets , bracelets , rings , earrings , and necklaces — to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD. ”
| LXX |
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
| LXX |
- All the gold that the commanders of thousands ... ... and of hundreds presented as an offering - to the LORD weighed 16,750 ... ... ... ... ... shekels ....
| LXX |
Each of the soldiers ... had taken plunder
| LXX |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest - received the gold ... from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought - it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites ... before the LORD.
