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

Moses sent 1,000 men from every tribe to fight against them, along with Eleazar's son Phinehas, in whose hands were the articles of the sanctuary and trumpets to sound battle alarms.

So they made war upon Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses, and slew every male:

They executed the five kings of Midian, including Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also executed Beor's son Balaam with a sword.

And Moses will say to them, Preserved ye alive every female?

Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah.

So now, kill all the male children and kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man,

And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.

And Eleazar the priest will say to the men of war coming from the battle, This the law of instruction which Jehovah commanded Moses:

or anything else that can survive a refiner's fire: You are to pass it through fire, after which it will be clean. Then it is to be purified with the water of impurity. Everything that cannot survive a refiner's fire is to be washed in water.

take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah's heave-offering.

And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.

And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.

And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.

And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

(now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

Even of the children of Israel's 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 they say unto Moses, 'Thy servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who are with us, and not a man of us hath been missed;

And we have brought Jehovah's oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of the thousands and hundreds, and they brought it to the tent of the assembly as a memorial for the {Israelites} before Yahweh.

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;

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

And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'

And Moses will say to the sons of Gad And to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brethren go forth to battle, and will ye sit here?

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.

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.

And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

except Jephunneh's son Caleb, the Kenizzite, and Nun's son Joshua. They've wholeheartedly followed the LORD.'

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

Behold, you stand in the place of your fathers, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more {Yahweh's fierce anger} against Israel.

If ye do turn away from following him, then will he yet again leave them behind in the desert, - so shall ye bring destruction upon all this people.

And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;

but, we, would arm ourselves promptly, before the sons of Israel, until that we have brought them into their place, - so should our little ones remain in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.

Moses replied, “If you will do as you say, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for war,

and the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you may return and be free of your obligation to the Lord and to Israel. This land will then be your possession in the Lord's sight.

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.

So the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben said to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands.

but your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, to do battle in the Lord's presence, just as my lord says."

So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

telling them, "If the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben cross over the Jordan River with you, that is, all of their soldiers who've been equipped for battle in the LORD's presence, so that the land is subjugated right before your eyes, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as their possession.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

"We are to cross over in battle array in the LORD's presence into the land of Canaan, and afterwards the possession of our inheritance will be on this side of the Jordan River."

So Moses gave to them, to the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, and to half of the tribe of Joseph's son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon the king of Amorites and the kingdom of Og the king of the Bashan, the land with its cities [and their] territories, the cities of the surrounding land.

The descendants of Manasseh's son Machir attacked Gilead and then captured and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

So Moses gave Gilead to Makir son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.

Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages, which he renamed Jair’s Villages.

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:

So then they brake up from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow of the passover, came forth the sons of Israel with an uplifted hand, in the sight of all the Egyptians;

So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

They departed from Marah and came to Elim. There were 12 springs of water and 70 date palms at Elim, so they camped there.

And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.

At the Lord’s command, Aaron the priest climbed Mount Hor and died there on the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the Israelites went out of the land of Egypt.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you, and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal images, and all their high places:

So shall ye possess the land, and settle down therein, - for unto you, have given 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 it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.

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:)

Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:

And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at 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 the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.

So Moses commanded the {Israelites}, saying, "This [is] the land that you will obtain as an inheritance for yourself by lot, which Yahweh commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

"These are the names of the men who are to divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Nun's son Joshua.

These are the names of the men: Appoint Jephunneh's son Caleb from the tribe of Judah,

Ammihud's son Shemuel from the tribe of Simeon,

Chislon's son Elidad from the tribe of Benjamin,

and Jogli's son Bukki is to be leader of the tribe of Dan.

From the tribe of Joseph, you are to appoint Ephod's son Hanniel to be leader of the half tribe of Manasseh,

Shiphtan's son Kemuel to be leader of the half tribe of Ephraim,

Parnach's son Elizaphan to be leader of the tribe of Zebulun,

Azzan's son Paltiel to be leader of the tribe of Issachar,

Shelomi's son Ahihud to be leader of the tribe of Asher,

and Ammihud's son Pedahel to be leader of the tribe of Naphtali."

So shall the cities be theirs, to dwell in, - and their pasture lands, shall, ye for their cattle and for their goods and for all their beasts.

So ye shall measure - on the outside of the city - the eastward quarter two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter two thousand by the cubit and the north quarter two thousand by the cubit, with, the city, in the midst. This, shall be unto them the pasture lands of the cities,

“The cities you give the Levites will include six cities of refuge, which you must provide so that the one who kills someone may flee there; in addition to these, give 42 other cities.

So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

And of the cities which ye shall give out of the possessions of the children of Israel, ye shall give many out of their possessions that have much and few out of their possessions that have little: so that every tribe shall give of his cities unto the Levites, according to the inheritance which he inheriteth."

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

designate cities to serve as cities of refuge for you, so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee there.

The cities will be to you a refuge from a redeemer, so that the killer will not die until he stands before the community for judgment.

These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or temporary resident among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

Or if he strikes him with a wooden hand weapon so that he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must surely be put to death.

And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,

or in enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him.

or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;
