Thematic Bible: Punished for seducing israel


Thematic Bible



And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 'Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten them, for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, with which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites -- afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.' And Moses speaketh unto the people, saying, 'Be ye armed some of you for the host, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of Jehovah on Midian; read more.
a thousand for a tribe -- a thousand for a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel -- ye do send to the host.' And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host; and Moses sendeth them, a thousand for a tribe, to the host, them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the host; and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the shouting, in his hand. And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses, and slay every male; and the kings of Midian they have slain, besides their pierced ones, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor, they have slain with the sword. And the sons of Israel take captive the women of Midian, and their infants; and all their cattle, and all their substance, and all their wealth they have plundered; and all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, they have burnt with fire. And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast; and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.
