31:1 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 8762 unto Moses 4872, saying 559 8800,

31:2 Avenge 5358 8798 5360 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 of the Midianites 4084: afterward 310 shalt thou be gathered 622 8735 unto thy people 5971.

31:3 And Moses 4872 spake 1696 8762 unto the people 5971, saying 559 8800, Arm 2502 8734 some 582 of yourselves unto the war 6635, and let them go against the Midianites 4080, and avenge 5414 8800 5360 the LORD 3068 of Midian 4080.

31:4 Of every tribe 4294 4294 a thousand 505 505, throughout all the tribes 4294 of Israel 3478, shall ye send 7971 8799 to the war 6635.(Of…: Heb. A thousand of a tribe, a thousand of a tribe)

31:5 So there were delivered 4560 8735 out of the thousands 505 of Israel 3478, a thousand 505 of [every] tribe 4294, twelve 8147 6240 thousand 505 armed 2502 8803 for war 6635.

31:6 And Moses 4872 sent 7971 8799 them to the war 6635, a thousand 505 of [every] tribe 4294, them and Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, to the war 6635, with the holy 6944 instruments 3627, and the trumpets 2689 to blow 8643 in his hand 3027.

31:7 And they warred 6633 8799 against the Midianites 4080, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872; and they slew 2026 8799 all the males 2145.

31:8 And they slew 2026 8804 the kings 4428 of Midian 4080, beside 5921 the rest of them that were slain 2491; [namely], Evi 189, and Rekem 7552, and Zur 6698, and Hur 2354, and Reba 7254, five 2568 kings 4428 of Midian 4080: Balaam 1109 also the son 1121 of Beor 1160 they slew 2026 8804 with the sword 2719.

31:9 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 took [all] the women 802 of Midian 4080 captives 7617 8799, and their little ones 2945, and took the spoil 962 8804 of all their cattle 929, and all their flocks 4735, and all their goods 2428.

31:10 And they burnt 8313 8804 all their cities 5892 wherein they dwelt 4186, and all their goodly castles 2918, with fire 784.

31:11 And they took 3947 8799 all the spoil 7998, and all the prey 4455, [both] of men 120 and of beasts 929.

31:12 And they brought 935 8686 the captives 7628, and the prey 4455, and the spoil 7998, unto Moses 4872, and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and unto the congregation 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, unto the camp 4264 at the plains 6160 of Moab 4124, which [are] by Jordan 3383 [near] Jericho 3405.

31:13 And Moses 4872, and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and all the princes 5387 of the congregation 5712, went forth 3318 8799 to meet 7125 8800 them without 2351 the camp 4264.

31:14 And Moses 4872 was wroth 7107 8799 with the officers 6485 8803 of the host 2428, [with] the captains 8269 over thousands 505, and captains 8269 over hundreds 3967, which came 935 8802 from 6635 the battle 4421.(battle: Heb. host of war)

31:15 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto them, Have ye saved 2421 8765 all the women 5347 alive 2421 8765?

31:16 Behold, these 2007 caused 1961 8804 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, through the counsel 1697 of Balaam 1109, to commit 4560 8800 trespass 4604 against the LORD 3068 in the matter 1697 of Peor 6465, and there was a plague 4046 among the congregation 5712 of the LORD 3068.

31:17 Now therefore kill 2026 8798 every male 2145 among the little ones 2945, and kill 2026 8798 every woman 802 that hath known 3045 8802 man 376 by lying 4904 with him 2145.(him: Heb. a male)

31:18 But all the women 802 children 2945, that have not known 3045 8804 a man 2145 by lying 4904 with him, keep alive 2421 8685 for yourselves.

31:19 And do ye abide 2583 8798 without 2351 the camp 4264 seven 7651 days 3117: whosoever hath killed 2026 8802 any person 5315, and whosoever hath touched 5060 8802 any slain 2491, purify 2398 8691 [both] yourselves and your captives 7628 on the third 7992 day 3117, and on the seventh 7637 day 3117.

31:20 And purify 2398 8691 all [your] raiment 899, and all that is made 3627 of skins 5785, and all work 4639 of goats' 5795 [hair], and all things made 3627 of wood 6086.(that…: Heb. instrument, or, vessel of skins)

31:21 And Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 said 559 8799 unto the men 582 of war 6635 which went 935 8802 to the battle 4421, This [is] the ordinance 2708 of the law 8451 which the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872;

31:22 Only the gold 2091, and the silver 3701, the brass 5178, the iron 1270, the tin 913, and the lead 5777,

31:23 Every thing 1697 that may abide 935 8799 the fire 784, ye shall make [it] go through 5674 8686 the fire 784, and it shall be clean 2891 8804: nevertheless it shall be purified 2398 8691 with the water 4325 of separation 5079: and all that abideth 935 8799 not the fire 784 ye shall make go through 5674 8686 the water 4325.

31:24 And ye shall wash 3526 8765 your clothes 899 on the seventh 7637 day 3117, and ye shall be clean 2891 8804, and afterward 310 ye shall come 935 8799 into the camp 4264.

31:25 And the LORD 3068 spake 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, saying 559 8800,

31:26 Take 5375 8798 the sum 7218 of the prey 4455 that was taken 7628, [both] of man 120 and of beast 929, thou, and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and the chief 7218 fathers 1 of the congregation 5712:(that…: Heb. of the captivity)

31:27 And divide 2673 0 the prey 4455 into two parts 2673 8804; between them that took 8610 8802 the war 4421 upon them, who went out 3318 8802 to battle 6635, and between all the congregation 5712:

31:28 And levy 7311 8689 a tribute 4371 unto the LORD 3068 of the men 582 of war 4421 which went out 3318 8802 to battle 6635: one 259 soul 5315 of five 2568 hundred 3967, [both] of the persons 120, and of the beeves 1241, and of the asses 2543, and of the sheep 6629:

31:29 Take 3947 8799 [it] of their half 4276, and give 5414 8804 it unto Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, [for] an heave offering 8641 of the LORD 3068.

31:30 And of the children 1121 of Israel's 3478 half 4276, thou shalt take 3947 8799 one 259 portion 270 8803 of fifty 2572, of the persons 120, of the beeves 1241, of the asses 2543, and of the flocks 6629, of all manner of beasts 929, and give 5414 8804 them unto the Levites 3881, which keep 8104 8802 the charge 4931 of the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068.(flocks: or, goats)

31:31 And Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 did 6213 8799 as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872.

31:32 And the booty 4455, [being] the rest 3499 of the prey 957 which the men of 5971 war 6635 had caught 962 8804, was six 8337 hundred 3967 thousand 505 and seventy 7657 thousand 505 and five 2568 thousand 505 sheep 6629,

31:33 And threescore and twelve 7657 8147 thousand 505 beeves 1241,

31:34 And threescore 8346 and one 259 thousand 505 asses 2543,

31:35 And thirty 7970 and two 8147 thousand 505 persons 5315 120 in all 3605, of women 802 that had not known 3045 8804 man 2145 by lying 4904 with him.

31:36 And the half 4275, [which was] the portion 2506 of them that went out 3318 8802 to war 6635, was in number 4557 three 7969 hundred 3967 thousand 505 and seven 7651 and thirty 7970 thousand 505 and five 2568 hundred 3967 sheep 6629:

31:37 And the LORD'S 3068 tribute 4371 of the sheep 6629 was six 8337 hundred 3967 and threescore and fifteen 7657 2568.

31:38 And the beeves 1241 [were] thirty 7970 and six 8337 thousand 505; of which the LORD'S 3068 tribute 4371 [was] threescore and twelve 7657 8147.

31:39 And the asses 2543 [were] thirty 7970 thousand 505 and five 2568 hundred 3967; of which the LORD'S 3068 tribute 4371 [was] threescore 8346 and one 259.

31:40 And the persons 120 5315 [were] sixteen 8337 6240 thousand 505; of which the LORD'S 3068 tribute 4371 [was] thirty 7970 and two 8147 persons 5315.

31:41 And Moses 4872 gave 5414 8799 the tribute 4371, [which was] the LORD'S 3068 heave offering 8641, unto Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872.

31:42 And of the children 1121 of Israel's 3478 half 4276, which Moses 4872 divided 2673 8804 from the men 582 that warred 6633 8802,

31:43 (Now the half 4275 [that pertained unto] the congregation 5712 was three 7969 hundred 3967 thousand 505 and thirty 7970 thousand 505 [and] seven 7651 thousand 505 and five 2568 hundred 3967 sheep 4480 6629,

31:44 And thirty 7970 and six 8337 thousand 505 beeves 1241,

31:45 And thirty 7970 thousand 505 asses 2543 and five 2568 hundred 3967,

31:46 And sixteen 8337 6240 thousand 505 persons 5315 120;)

31:47 Even of the children 1121 of Israel's 3478 half 4276, Moses 4872 took 3947 8799 one 259 portion 270 8803 of fifty 2572, [both] of man 120 and of beast 929, and gave 5414 8799 them unto the Levites 3881, which kept 8104 8802 the charge 4931 of the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068; as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872.

31:48 And the officers 6485 8803 which [were] over thousands 505 of the host 6635, the captains 8269 of thousands 505, and captains 8269 of hundreds 3967, came near 7126 8799 unto Moses 4872:

31:49 And they said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Thy servants 5650 have taken 5375 8804 the sum 7218 of the men 582 of war 4421 which [are] under our charge 3027, and there lacketh 6485 8738 not one man 376 of us.(charge: Heb. hand)

31:50 We have therefore brought 7126 8686 an oblation 7133 for the LORD 3068, what every man 376 hath gotten 4672 8804, of jewels 3627 of gold 2091, chains 685, and bracelets 6781, rings 2885, earrings 5694, and tablets 3558, to make an atonement 3722 8763 for our souls 5315 before 6440 the LORD 3068.(gotten: Heb. found)

31:51 And Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 took 3947 8799 the gold 2091 of them, [even] all wrought 4639 jewels 3627.

31:52 And all the gold 2091 of the offering 8641 that they offered up 7311 8689 to the LORD 3068, of the captains 8269 of thousands 505, and of the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967, was sixteen 8337 6240 thousand 505 seven 7651 hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 shekels 8255.(offering: Heb. heave offering)

31:53 ([For] the men 582 of war 6635 had taken spoil 962 8804, every man 376 for himself.)

31:54 And Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 took 3947 8799 the gold 2091 of the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, and brought 935 8686 it into the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150, [for] a memorial 2146 for the children 1121 of Israel 3478 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
