31:1 Avenging the Midyanites

31 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses), 2 “Avenge the Midyanites for what they did to you Israelis. After that, you’ll go to join your ancestors.”

3 So Mosheh told the people, “Equip some of your men to battle against Midyan to execute Yahweh’s vengeance on them—4 one thousand men from each tribe to go to war.”

5 So a thousand men were conscripted from each tribe—twelve thousand equipped for battle 6 and Mosheh sent them off to war. The priest Pinhas (Eleazar’s son) went with them, taking some sacred objects as well as the signal trumpets. 7 Then they fought Midyan just as Yahweh had commanded Mosheh, and they killed every male. 8 Among them, they killed five Midyan kings: Evi, Rekem, Tsur, Hur, and Reva, in addition to Be’or’s son Bil’am (Balaam).

9 The Israelis took the Midyan women and children captive, and took all their cattle, sheep and goats, and all their possessions as plunder, 10 then they burnt down all their cities and houses and camps. 11 They took all the spoil and plunder including the people and animals back, 12 and brought it to Mosheh and the priest Eleazar, and to the assembled Israelis who were all still camped on the Moav (Moab) plains beside the Yarden (Jordan) river opposite Yeriho (Jericho).

31 And_ YHWH _he/it _spoke to Mosheh to_saying.

2 Avenge the _vengeance _of the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) from_with the_Midyānites after you _will _be _gathered to people(s)_of_your.

3 And_ Mosheh _he/it _spoke to the_people to_say be _equipped from_with_you(pl) men for_war so_that _they _may _be on Midyān to_give the _vengeance _of YHWH on_Midyān.

4 one _thousand to_tribe one _thousand to_tribe to_all/each/any/every the _tribes _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) you(pl)_will _send _out to_war.

5 And_they _were _selected from_the _families _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) one _thousand to_tribe two _plus ten thousand men_equipped _of war.

7 And_they _went _to _war on Midyān just_as YHWH he _had _commanded DOM Mosheh and_they _killed every _of male.

11 And_they _took DOM all _of the_plunder and_DOM all _of the_booty among_humankind and_on/over_cattle/livestock.

12 And_they _brought to Mosheh and_near/to ʼElˊāzār the_priest/officer and_near/to the _congregation _of the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) DOM the_captive[s] and_DOM the_booty and_DOM the_plunder to the_camp to the _plains _of Mōʼāⱱ which were_at the _Yardēn/(Jordan) of _Yərīḩō/(Jericho).
