04:030:015 But if he shall any ways make them void
after that he hath
heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
04:030:016 These are the statutes, which the lord
commanded Moses,
between
a man and his wife, between the father and his
daughter,
being yet in her youth in her father’s house.
04:031:001 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward
shalt
thou be gathered unto thy people.
04:031:003 And 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.
04:031:004 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all
the tribes of
Israel,
shall ye send to the war.
04:031:005 So there were delivered out of the thousands
of Israel, a
thousand
of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
04:031:006 And 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.
04:031:007 And they warred against the Midianites,
as the lord commanded
Moses;
and they slew all the males.
04:031:008 And 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.
04:031:009 And 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.
04:031:010 And they burnt all their cities wherein
they dwelt, and all
their
goodly castles, with fire.
04:031:011 And they took all the spoil, and all the
prey, both of men and
of
beasts.
04:031:012 And 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.
04:031:013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and
all the princes of the
congregation,
went forth to meet them without the camp.
04:031:014 And Moses was wroth with the officers of
the host, with the
captains
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which
came
from the battle.
04:031:015 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
04:031:016 Behold, 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.
