1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “First, avenge the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and then you shall be gathered to your people.” 3 And immediately Moses said: “Arm the men among you for a battle, so that they may be able to fulfill the retribution of the Lord on the Midianites. 4 Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war.” 5 And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle. 6 And Moses sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest; also, he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
