*
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
saying ,
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded .
*
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD ,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond ;
he shall not break his word ,
he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth .
*
If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD ,
and bind herself by a bond ,
being in her fathers house in her youth na #
uwr #;
*
And her father hear her vow ,
and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul ,
and her father shall hold his peace at her :
then all her vows shall stand ,
and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand .
*
But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth ;
not any of her vows ,
or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul ,
shall stand :
and the LORD shall forgive her ,
because her father disallowed her .
*
And if she had at all an husband ,
when she vowed ,
or uttered ought out of her lips ,
wherewith she bound her soul ;
*
And her husband heard it ,
and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it :
then her vows shall stand ,
and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand .
*
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it ;
then he shall make her vow which she vowed ,
and that which she uttered with her lips ,
wherewith she bound her soul ,
of none effect :
and the LORD shall forgive her .
*
But every vow of a widow ,
and of her that is divorced ,
wherewith they have bound their souls ,
shall stand against her .
*
And if she vowed in her husbands house ,
or bound her soul by a bond with an oath sh @
buw #
ah #;
*
And her husband heard it ,
and held his peace at her ,
and disallowed her not :
then all her vows shall stand ,
and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand .
*
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them ;
then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows ,
or concerning the bond of her soul ,
shall not stand :
her husband hath made them void ;
and the LORD shall forgive her .
*
Every vow ,
and every binding oath to afflict the soul ,
her husband may establish it ,
or her husband may make it void .
*
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day ;
then he establisheth all her vows ,
or all her bonds ,
which are upon her :
he confirmeth them ,
because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them .
*
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them ;
then he shall bear her iniquity .
*
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 fathers house .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites :
afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people .
*
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 .
*
Of every tribe matteh #
a thousand #
H505 ,
throughout all the tribes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
shall ye send to the war .
*
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel Yisra #
el #,
a thousand of every tribe ,
twelve sh @
nayim #
thousand armed for war .
*
And Moses sent them to the war ,
a thousand of every tribe ,
them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
to the war ,
with the holy instruments ,
and the trumpets to blow in his hand .
*
And they warred against the Midianites ,
as the LORD commanded Moses ;
and they slew all the males .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt ,
and all their goodly castles ,
with fire .
*
And they took all the spoil ,
and all the prey ,
both of men and of beasts .
*
And they brought the captives ,
and the prey ,
and the spoil ,
unto Moses ,
and Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
and unto the congregation of the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
unto the camp at the plains of Moab Mow #
ab #,
which are by Jordan near Jericho .
*
And Moses ,
and Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
and all the princes of the congregation ,
went forth to meet them without the camp .
*
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host ,
with the captains over thousands ,
and captains over hundreds me #
ah #,
which came from the battle .
*
And Moses said unto them ,
Have ye saved all the women alive ?
*
Behold ,
these caused the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
through the counsel of Balaam Bil #
am #,
to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor P @#
owr #,
and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD .
*
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones ,
and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him .
*
But all the women children ,
that have not known a man by lying with him ,
keep alive for yourselves .
*
And 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 .
*
And purify all your raiment ,
and all that is made of skins ,
and all work of goats hair ,
and all things made of wood .
*
And Eleazar #
El #
azar #
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 ;
*
Only the gold ,
and the silver ,
the brass ,
the iron ,
the tin ,
and the lead ,
*
Every 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 .
*
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day ,
and ye shall be clean ,
and afterward ye shall come into the camp .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take the sum of the prey that was taken ,
both of man and of beast ,
thou ,
and Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
and the chief fathers of the congregation :
*
And divide #
the prey into two parts ;
between them that took the war upon them ,
who went out to battle ,
and between all the congregation :
*
And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle :
one soul of five hundred me #
ah #,
both of the persons ,
and of the beeves ,
and of the asses ,
and of the sheep tso #
n #:
*
Take it of their half ,
and give it unto Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
for an heave offering of the LORD .
*
And of the children of Israels half ,
thou shalt take one portion of fifty ,
of the persons ,
of the beeves ,
of the asses ,
and of the flocks tso #
n #,
of all manner of beasts ,
and give them unto the Levites ,
which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD .
*
And Moses and Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And 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 tso #
n #,
*
And threescore and twelve #
H8147thousand beeves ,
*
And threescore and one thousand asses ,
*
And thirty and two thousand persons nephesh #
in all ,
of women that had not known man by lying with him .
*
And 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 tso #
n #:
*
And the LORDS tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen #
H2568 .
*
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand ;
of which the LORDS tribute was threescore and twelve #
H8147 .
*
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred me #
ah #;
of which the LORDS tribute was threescore and one .
*
And the persons #
H5315were sixteen shesh #
thousand ;
of which the LORDS tribute was thirty and two persons .
*
And Moses gave the tribute ,
which was the LORDS heave offering ,
unto Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And of the children of Israels half ,
which Moses divided from the men that warred ,
* (
Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep min #
tso #
n #,
*
And thirty and six thousand beeves ,
*
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred me #
ah #,
*
And sixteen shesh #
thousand persons nephesh #; )
*
Even of the children of Israels 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 .
*
And the officers which were over thousands of the host ,
the captains of thousands ,
and captains of hundreds me #
ah #,
came near unto Moses :
*
And 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 .
*
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD ,
what every man hath gotten ,
of jewels of gold ,
chains #
ets #
adah #,
and bracelets ,
rings tabba #
ath #,
earrings ,
and tablets ,
to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD .
*
And Moses and Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest took the gold of them ,
even all wrought jewels .
*
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD ,
of the captains of thousands ,
and of the captains of hundreds me #
ah #,
was sixteen shesh #
thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels .
* (
For the men of war had taken spoil ,
every man for himself .)
*
And Moses and Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds me #
ah #,
and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #,
for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD .
*
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle :
and when they saw the land of Jazer Ya #
azeyr #,
and the land of Gilead Gil #
ad #,
that ,
behold ,
the place was a place for cattle ;
