1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
2 Auenge the children of Israel of the Madianites, & afterwarde shalt thou be gathered vnto thy people. “Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.” “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 And Moyses spake vnto the folke, saying: Harnesse some of you vnto warre, and let them go vpon the Madianites, & auenge the Lorde of the Madianites. So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the LORD’s vengeance on Midian. So Moses said to the people, “Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites so that they may carry out the LORD’s vengeance on them.
4 Of euery tribe a thousande, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shal ye sende to the warre. You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war.” Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.”
5 And there were deliuered out of the thousandes of Israel, twelue thousand prepared vnto warre, of euery tribe a thousande. So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. So twelve thousand men armed for battle, a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel.
6 And Moyses sent the to ye warre, euen a thousande of euery tribe, & with them Phinees the sonne of Eleazar the priest to the warre, and the holy vessels, & the trumpets to blowe were in his hande. And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, together with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. Moses sent them into battle, a thousand from each tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him articles from the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
7 And they warred agaynst the Madianites as the Lord comaunded Moyses, and slue all the males. They warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every male. They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man.
8 And they slue the kynges of Madian among other that were slayne: Namelye, Eui, and Rekem, Zur, & Hur, and Reba: fiue kynges of Madian, with Balaam the sonne of Beor, whom they slue with the sworde. They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. And they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword. Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel toke all the women of Madian prisoners, and their children, and spoyled all their cattel, and all their flockes, and all their goodes. And the people of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, and they took as plunder all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherin they dwelt, and all their goodly dwellynges, with fire: All their cities in the places where they lived, and all their encampments, they burned with fire, They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps.
11 And they toke all the spoyle, and all the bootie, both of men and beastes. and took all the spoil and all the plunder, both of man and of beast. They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals,
12 And they brought the captiues, and that which they had taken, and the spoyle, vnto Moyses and Eleazar the priest, and vnto the companie of the children of Israel, euen vnto the hoast that were in the fieldes of Moab by Iordane, ouer agaynst Iericho: Then they brought the captives and the plunder and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
13 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest, and all the lordes of the congregation, went out of the hoast to meete them. Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the chiefs of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp. Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.
14 And Moyses was angrie with the officers of the hoast, with the captaynes ouer thousandes, and ouer hundredes, which came from the warre & battayle. And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war. Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle.
15 And Moyses sayde vnto them: Haue ye saued all the women alyue? Moses said to them, “Have you let all the women live? “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them.
16 Beholde, these caused the children of Israel through the councel of Balaam, to commit trespasse agaynst the Lorde in the businesse of Peor, and there folowed a plague among the congregation of the Lorde. Behold, these, on Balaam’s advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD. “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the LORD in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the LORD’s people.
17 Nowe therfore, slay all the men children, and kyl the women that haue lien with men fleshly. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,
18 But all the women children that haue not lien with men carnally, kepe alyue for your selues. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves. but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
19 And ye shall remayne without the hoast seuen dayes, all that haue kylled any person, and all that haue touched any dead body, and purifie both your selues and your prisoners the thirde day and the seuenth. Encamp outside the camp seven days. Whoever of you has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day. “Anyone who has killed someone or touched someone who was killed must stay outside the camp seven days. On the third and seventh days you must purify yourselves and your captives.
20 And purifie all your raymentes, and that is made of skinnes, and all worke of goates heere, and all thinges made of wood. You shall purify every garment, every article of skin, all work of goats’ hair, and every article of wood.” Purify every garment as well as everything made of leather, goat hair or wood.”
21 And Eleazar the priest sayde vnto the men of warre which went to the battayle: This is the ordinauce of the lawe which the Lorde comaunded Moyses: Then Eleazar the priest said to the men in the army who had gone to battle: “This is the statute of the law that the LORD has commanded Moses: Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is what is required by the law that the LORD gave Moses:
22 As for golde, siluer, brasse, and iron, tinne, and lead, only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead, Gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, lead
23 And all that may abide the fire, ye shal make it go through the fire, and it shalbe cleane: Neuerthelesse, it shalbe purified with water of seperation: And all that suffereth not the fire, ye shall make go through the water: everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless, it shall also be purified with the water for impurity. And whatever cannot stand the fire, you shall pass through the water. and anything else that can withstand fire must be put through the fire, and then it will be clean. But it must also be purified with the water of cleansing. And whatever cannot withstand fire must be put through that water.
24 And washe your clothes the seuenth day, and ye shalbe cleane, and afterwarde come into the hoast. You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. And afterward you may come into the camp.” On the seventh day wash your clothes and you will be clean. Then you may come into the camp.”
25 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: The LORD said to Moses, The LORD said to Moses,
26 Take the summe of the pray that was taken, both of the persons and of cattell, thou and Eleazar the priest, and the chiefe fathers of the congregation: “Take the count of the plunder that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the congregation, “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured.
27 And deuide the pray into two partes, betweene them that toke the warre vpon them and went out to battayle, and all the congregation. and divide the plunder into two parts between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation. Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community.
28 And take a tribute vnto the Lorde of the men of warre which went out to battayle: one soule of fiue hundred, both of the persons, and of the beefes, and of the asses, and of the sheepe. And levy for the LORD a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the people and of the oxen and of the donkeys and of the flocks. From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the LORD one out of every five hundred, whether people, cattle, donkeys or sheep.
29 And ye shall take it of their halfe, and geue it vnto Eleazar the priest, as an heaue offeryng of the Lorde. Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to the LORD. Take this tribute from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as the LORD’s part.
30 And of the halfe of the children of Israel, thou shalt take one portion of fiftie, of the persons, and of the beefes, of the asses, and of the sheepe, and of al maner of beastes, and geue them vnto the Leuites which wayte vpon the charge of the tabernacle of the Lorde. And from the people of Israel’s half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who keep guard over the tabernacle of the LORD.” From the Israelites’ half, select one out of every fifty, whether people, cattle, donkeys, sheep or other animals. Give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the LORD’s tabernacle.”

42 And the other halfe of the children of Israel which Moyses deuided from the men of warre, From the people of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had served in the army— The half belonging to the Israelites, which Moses set apart from that of the fighting men—

48 And the officers of thousandes of the hoast, ye captaynes ouer the thousandes, and the captaynes ouer the hundredes, came foorth, Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, came near to Moses Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—went to Moses
49 And sayde vnto Moyses: Thy seruauntes haue taken the summe of the men of warre which are vnder our aucthoritie, and there lacketh not one man of vs: and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us. and said to him, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one is missing.
50 We haue therfore brought a present vnto the Lord what euery man found, of iewels of golde, bracelets, chaynes, rynges, eare rynges, and spangles, to make an attonement for our soules before the Lorde. And we have brought the LORD’s offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.” So we have brought as an offering to the LORD the gold articles each of us acquired—armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
