1 And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, 2 Avenge the avenging of the sons of Israel of the Midianites: afterwards thou shalt be gathered to thy people. 3 And Moses will speak to the people, saying, Arm from yourselves the men for war, and they shall be against Midian, to give the avenging of Jehovah upon Midian. 4 A thousand to a tribe, a thousand to a tribe, for all the tribes of Israel, ye shall send to war. 5 And there shall be separated from the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 6 And Moses will send them a thousand for a tribe, to war, them and Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest, to war, and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the signal in his hand. 7 And they will go forth against Midian as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they killed every male. 8 And they killed the kings of Midian upon those being slain: Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: and they killed Balaam, son of Beor, with the sword.
