1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards thou shalt be added to thy people.
2Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord .
3And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.
4Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israelto set themselves in array.
4Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5And they numbered of the thousands of Israela thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.
5So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
7And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8And they slew the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Eviand Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they slew with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
8And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
9And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation, and they burnt their villages with fire.
10And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
11And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
12And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
13And Mosesand Eleazar the priestand all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them .
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousandsand the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15And Moses said to them, Why have ye saved every female alive?
15And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.
17Now then slay every male in all the spoil, slay every woman, who has known the lying with man.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18And as for all the captivity of women , who have not known the lying with man, save ye them alive .
18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19And ye shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and ye and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
19And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20And ye shall purify every garment and every leathern utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
20And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.
21And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses;
22Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
22Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23every thing that shall pass through the fireshall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatsoever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
23Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24And on the seventh day ye shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards ye shall come into the camp.
24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
25And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
26Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, thouand Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27And ye shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
27And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28And ye shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and ye shall take from their half.
28And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29And thou shalt give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first-fruits of the Lord.
29Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the Lord.
30And from the half belonging to the children of Israelthou shalt take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and thou shalt give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
30And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:
32And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
33And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34and asses, sixty-one thousand.
34And threescore and one thousand asses,
35And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.
35And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
37And the Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord, seventy-two.
38And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and twelve.
39And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:
39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and one.
40and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
40And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty and two persons.

41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
42from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
42And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
43(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
44And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
45And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46and persons, sixteen thousand.
46And sixteen thousand persons;)
47And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fiftieth part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
47Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
48And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousandsand captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
48And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
49And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
50We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousandsand the captains of hundreds.
52And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
53(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
1And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
2and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
2The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3Ataroth, and Dæbon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Bæan,
3Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land , and thy servants have cattle.
4Even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5And they said , If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
5Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
6And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
6And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7And why do ye pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
7And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?
8Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land?
8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh–barnea to see the land.
9and they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
9For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
10And the Lordwas very angry in that day, and sware, saying,
10And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
11Surely these men who came up out of Egyptfrom twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaacand Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
11Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
12Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.
13And the Lordwas very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness , until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lordwas extinct.
13And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed.
14Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.
14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.
15For ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation.
15For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
17But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
20And Moses said to them, If ye will do according to these words, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
20And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,
21and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
22and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord.
22And the land be subdued before the Lord: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.
23But if ye will not do so, ye will sin against the Lord; and ye shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you .
23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
24And ye shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and ye shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth.
24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our lord commands.
25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26Our store, and our wives, and all our cattleshall be in the cities of Galaad.
26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27But thy servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
28And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel.
28So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you , every one armed for war before the Lord, and ye shall subdue the land before you, then ye shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
29And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
30But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall ye cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and ye shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan .
32We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
33And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gadand the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
33And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
34And the sons of Gad built Dæbon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
34And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
35And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36and Namram, and Bætharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
36And Beth–nimrah, and Beth–haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
37And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls],and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
38And Nebo, and Baal–meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
39And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt in it.
39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
40And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he dwelt there.
40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth–jair.
42And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages , and called them Naboth after his name.
