Numbers 31:1-4 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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

3 So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, so that they may go against Midian to execute the LORD’S vengeance on Midian.

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