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

And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.

And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.

And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

Behold, they were to the sons of Israel by the word of Balaam for separating treacherously against Jehovah, concerning the word of Peor; and there will be a smiting in the assembly of Jehovah.

But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

“You are to remain outside the camp for seven days. All of you and your prisoners who have killed a person or touched the dead are to purify yourselves on the third day and the seventh day.

You shall purify for yourselves every garment and every article of leather and all the work of goats’ hair, and all articles of wood.”

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 let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.

Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

From the Israelites' half-share you are to take one portion out of fifty of the people, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep -- from every kind of animal -- and you are to give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the Lord's tabernacle."

Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

The half portion for those who went out to war numbered:

337,500 sheep and goats,

and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;

and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;

and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;

and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.

Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as a contribution for the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

As for the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from the men who had gone to war—

there were 337,500 sheep for the community,

From the Israelites' share Moses took one of every fifty people and animals and gave them to the Levites who were responsible for the care of the Lord's tabernacle, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

We 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.

The gold for the raised offering that they brought to the LORD totaled 16,750 shekels,

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

And 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.

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, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

Wherefore, 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.

Wherefore discourage ye the hearts of the children of Israel for to go over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

For 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.

If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me;

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of Jehovah, was consumed.

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

We will not return to our houses until the {Israelites} each obtain their inheritance for themselves.

For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,

and the land is subdued before Jehovah; then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards Jehovah, and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a possession before Jehovah.

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

And 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:

And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

Here's the travel itinerary for the Israelis after they left the land of Egypt in groups under the authority of Moses and Aaron.

At the Lord’s command, Moses wrote down the starting points for the stages of their journey; these are the stages listed by their starting points:

For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

They camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

And if ye do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it hath been, those whom ye let remain of them, are for pricks in your eyes, and for thorns in your sides, and they have distressed you on the land in which ye are dwelling,

Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

""To your south is the Wilderness of Zin, bordering Edom. Your southern border is to extend east toward the far end of the Dead Sea,

And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.

And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

And ye shall mark out for you as eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:

Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:

and the border hath gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is for you the land by its borders round about.'

And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:

These are the names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

and for the tribe of the children of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;

for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

and for the tribe of the children of Dan, a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli;

The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

and for the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

and for the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a prince, Elizaphan the son of Pharnach;

and for the tribe of the children of Issachar, a prince, Phaltiel the son of Azzan;

and for the tribe of the children of Asher, a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;

and for the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a prince, Phedahel the son of Ammihud.

These, are they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive for the sons of Israel their inheritance, in the land of Canaan.

Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

The grazing lands that you are to reserve for use by the descendants of Levi are to extend 1,000 cubits from the walls of the town.

And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

As for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the Israelites, from the larger tribes you shall take many and from the smaller tribes few; each tribe shall give [at least some] of its cities to the Levites in proportion to [the size of] its inheritance which it possesses.”

Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight.

These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

"'If any man smite another with a weapon of iron that he die, then he is a murderer, and shall die for it.

If he smite him with a throwing stone that he die therewith, then he shall die: For he is a murderer and shall be slain therefore.

If he smite him with a hand weapon of wood that he die therewith, then he shall die: for he is a murderer and shall be slain therefore.

He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death;

Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

Then let the meeting of the people be judge between the man responsible for the death and him who has the right of punishment for blood, acting by these rules:

And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.

and the redeemer of blood hath found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood hath slain the man-slayer, blood is not for him;

for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest he may return into the land of his possession.

So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Whosoever slayeth, shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses. For one witness shall not answer against one person to put him to death.
