Purifying the returning warriors

Num 31:13–24

13Mosheh and the priest Eleazar and all the Israeli leaders left the camp to meet them, 14but Mosheh was angry at the top army leaders who were coming back from the battle. 15Why did you allow all the women to live?” he asked them. 16“They’re the very ones who did what Bileam (Balaam) suggested to urge the people to be unfaithful to Yahweh at Peor, leading to the plague that struck Yahweh’s people.[ref] 17So now, kill all the boys plus every woman who’s slept with a man18spare only the young, unmarried girls for yourselves.

19Then everyone who’s killed someone or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp for seven days. On the third day, you all must purify yourselves, and again on the seventh day but this time including your captives. 20Also, you all must purify all your clothes, plus anything else made of leather or goats’ hair or wood.”

21Then the priest Eleazar told the warriors who’d gone to battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Mosheh: 22Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead, 23must pass through fire to make it ‘clean’. Nevertheless, it must still be purified with the special purifying water, along with anything that wouldn’t handle the fire. 24On the seventh day, you all must wash your clothes and then you’ll be ‘clean’ and be allowed to reenter the camp.

Num 25:1-9:

25Meanwhile, the Israelis settled down at Shittim, and their men started sleeping with women from Moav 2who then invited them to sacrifices to their idols. So the Israelis bowed down to the idols and ate at the feasts, 3and when Yisrael consecrated themselves to Baal-Peor, Yahweh’s anger burned towards them. 4Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Execute all the people’s leaders and display their bodies in broad daylight, and then Yahweh’s anger might turn back away from Yisrael.”

5So Mosheh to Yisrael’s judges, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined others to serve Baal-Peor.”

6Just then, unbelievably, an Israeli man came past Mosheh and all the people who were there outside the sacred tent weeping, and he was bringing a Midyanite woman with him. 7When Pinehas (son of Eleazar, son of Aharon) saw that, he came out from among the gathered people, grabbed a spear, 8and followed the Israeli man into his tent. He plunged the spear through the two of them—right through the man and the woman’s belly, and thus, stopped the plague that had started against the Israelis. 9However,, twenty-four thousand people had already died from the plague.
