Afterward you will go to be with your dead ancestors.\u201d 3-4Moses addressed the people: \u201cRecruit men for a campaign against Midian, to exact God\u2019s vengeance on Midian, a thousand from each tribe of Israel to go to war.\u201d 5-6A fighting force of a thousand from each tribe of Israel\u2014twelve thousand in all\u2014was recruited. Moses sent them off to war, a thousand from each tribe, and also Phinehas son of Eleazar, who went as priest to the army, in charge of holy vessels and the signaling bugles. 7-12They attacked Midian, just as God had commanded Moses, and killed every last man. Among the fallen were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba\u2014the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. The People of Israel took the Midianite women and children captive and took all their animals and herds and goods as plunder. They burned to the ground all the towns in which Midianites lived and also their tent camps. They looted and plundered everything and everyone\u2014belongings and people and animals. They took it all\u2014captives and spoils and plunder\u2014back to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the company of Israel where they were camped on the Plains of Moab, at Jordan-Jericho. 13-18Moses, Eleazar, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet the returning army outside the camp. Moses was furious with the army officers\u2014the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds\u2014as they came back from the battlefield: \u201cWhat\u2019s this! You\u2019ve let these women live! They\u2019re the ones who, under Balaam\u2019s direction, seduced the People of Israel away from God in that mess at Peor, causing the plague that hit God\u2019s people. Finish your job: kill all the boys. Kill every woman who has slept with a man. The younger women who are virgins you can keep alive for yourselves. 19-20\u201cNow here\u2019s what you are to do: Pitch tents outside the camp. All who have killed anyone or touched a corpse must stay outside the camp for seven days. Purify yourselves and your captives on the third and seventh days. Purify every piece of clothing and every utensil\u2014everything made of leather, goat hair, or wood.\u201d 21-24Eleazar the priest then spoke to the soldiers who had fought in the battle: \u201cThis is the ruling from the Revelation that God gave Moses: Gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead\u2014and anything else that can survive fire\u2014must be passed through the fire; then it will be ritually purified. It must also be ritually washed in the Water-of-Cleansing. Further, whatever cannot survive fire must be put through that water. On the seventh day scrub your clothes; you will be ritually clean. Then you can return to camp.\u201d * * * 25-27 God said to Moses, \u201cI want you and Eleazar the priest and the family leaders in the community to count the captives, people and animals. Split the plunder between the soldiers who fought the battle and the rest of the congregation. 28-30\u201cThen tax the spoils that go to the soldiers at the rate of one life out of five hundred, whether humans, cattle, donkeys, or sheep. It\u2019s a God-tax taken from their half-share to be turned over to Eleazar the priest on behalf of God. Tax the congregation\u2019s half-share at the rate of one life out of fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, or other animals. Give this to the Levites who are in charge of the care of God\u2019s Dwelling.\u201d 31Moses and Eleazar followed through with what God had commanded Moses. 32-35The rest of the plunder taken by the army: 675,000 sheep 72,000 cattle 61,000 donkeys 32,000 women who were virgins 36-40The half-share for those who had fought in the war: 337,500 sheep, with a tax of 675 for God 36,000 cattle, with a tax of 72 for God 30,500 donkeys, with a tax of 61 for God 16,000 people, with a tax of 32 for God 41Moses turned the tax over to Eleazar the priest as God\u2019s part, following God\u2019s instructions to Moses. 42-46The other half-share for the Israelite community that Moses set apart from what was given to the men who fought the war was: 337,500 sheep 36,000 cattle 30,500 donkeys 16,000 people 47From the half-share going to the People of Israel, Moses, just as God had instructed him, picked one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites, who were in charge of maintaining God\u2019s Dwelling. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl9GakVoelZ1MTBzY1ViZjRLR1BwV1ZHaFBWQXxBQ3Jtc0tuSTh4dzRJUGxFQ0RNbXh6a3lCaDk1QUpRbzJWUVQ1VXpSd2lBVDlsTlo2anh2NkNhZFBrXzFHSHI1S0tqWkNLTG1COWx4RVlwdkpjRVFJdEpSVFE0cFhDYWJ0ZzFwQ19fNUZkYzdleFZBdVJtMGZTNA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1-2 God spoke to Moses: \u201cAvenge the People of Israel on the Midianites.
