“Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ households, whoever is able to go out to war in Israel.”

Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord’s vengeance on Midian.

A thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war.”

So there were furnished from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

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.

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.

Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses:

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;

Now the booty that remained from the spoil which the men of war had plundered was 675,000 sheep,

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

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

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.

The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.

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?

So Moses said to them, “If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for the war,

while your servants, everyone who is armed for war, will cross over in the presence of the Lord to battle, just as my lord says.”
