The other lamb you shall offer at twilight; as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.

“Also if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by an obligation in her father’s house in her youth,

and her father hears her vow and her obligation by which she has bound herself, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand.

But if her father should forbid her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will forgive her because her father had forbidden her.

and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand.

But if on the day her husband hears of it, he forbids her, then he shall annul her vow which she is under and the rash statement of her lips by which she has bound herself; and the Lord will forgive her.

and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she bound herself shall stand.

But if her husband indeed annuls them on the day he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the obligation of herself shall not stand; her husband has annulled them, and the Lord will forgive her.

“Every vow and every binding oath to humble herself, her husband may confirm it or her husband may annul it.

These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, as between a man and his wife, and as between a father and his daughter, while she is in her youth in her father’s house.

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

So they made war against Midian, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

They killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of their slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.

The sons of Israel captured the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods they plundered.

Then they burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps with fire.

They took all the spoil and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

They brought the captives and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.

Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.

And Moses said to them, “Have you spared all the women?

Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately.

And you, camp outside the camp seven days; whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves, you and your captives, on the third day and on 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.”

only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin and the lead,

everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean, but it shall be purified with water for impurity. But whatever cannot stand the fire you shall pass through the water.

And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you may enter the camp.”

“You and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation take a count of the booty that was captured, both of man and of animal;

and divide the booty between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.

Levy a tax for the Lord from the men of war who went out to battle, one in five hundred of the persons and of the cattle and of the donkeys and of the sheep;

take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest, as an offering to the Lord.

From the sons of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys and of the sheep, from all the animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.”

Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

and 72,000 cattle,

and 61,000 donkeys,

and of human beings, of the women who had not known man intimately, all the persons were 32,000.

The half, the portion of those who went out to war, was as follows: the number of sheep was 337,500,

and the Lord’s levy of the sheep was 675;

and the cattle were 36,000, from which the Lord’s levy was 72;

and the donkeys were 30,500, from which the Lord’s levy was 61;

and the human beings were 16,000, from whom the Lord’s levy was 32 persons.

and 36,000 cattle,

and 30,500 donkeys,

and the human beings were 16,000—

and from the sons of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animals, and gave them to the Levites, who kept charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, approached Moses,

and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a census of men of war who are in our charge, and no man of us is missing.

So we have brought as an offering to the Lord what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”

Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all kinds of wrought articles.

All the gold of the offering which they offered up to the Lord, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, was 16,750 shekels.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it to the tent of meeting as a memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord.

Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had an exceedingly large number of livestock. So when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that it was indeed a place suitable for livestock,

the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,

“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo and Beon,

the land which the Lord conquered before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”

But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you yourselves sit here?

Now why are you discouraging the sons of Israel from crossing over into the land which the Lord has given them?

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.

So the Lord’s anger burned in that day, and He swore, saying,

‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully,

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the Lord fully.’

So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord was destroyed.
