And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe. He sent them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

And if you go to war in your land against the enemy who fights against you, then you shall blow with the trumpets. And you shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.

Take the sum of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.

And Moses spoke to the people saying, Arm some of yourselves to the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge Jehovah on Midian.

You shall send to the war a thousand from every tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel.

So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to battle, This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah commanded Moses.

And divide the prey into two parts: between those skilled in the battle, who went out to war, and between all the congregation.

And levy a tax for Jehovah from the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, of the persons and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flock.

And the prize, the rest of the spoil which the men of war had captured, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

And the half, the portion of those who went out to war, the number of the flock was three hundred thirty-seven thousand, five hundred;

And they said to Moses, Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our charge, and there is not one man of us lacking.

For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.

And Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to war, and shall you sit here?

And Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will go armed before Jehovah to war,

But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.
