Numbers - ch 31 v 1 - 20

  1. Then the Lord said to Moses,
  2. Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.
  3. So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.
  4. From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.
  5. So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
  6. And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.
  7. And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.
  8. They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.
  9. The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;
  10. And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,
  11. They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.
  12. And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
  13. Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.
  14. And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.
  15. And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?
  16. It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.
  17. So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.
  18. But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.
  19. You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.
  20. And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.
