Numbers 31:1-4 ▼

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Take full vengeance for the sons of Israel on the Midianites; afterward you will be gathered to your people.”

3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute Yahweh’s vengeance on Midian.

4 One thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war.”
