31 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel. And afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Some of you, arm yourselves for war. And let them go against Midian, to execute the vengeance of the LORD against Midian.
4 “A thousand of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel shall you send to the war.”
5 So there were taken out of the thousands of Israel, twelve thousand, prepared to war, of every tribe a thousand.
6 And Moses sent them to war, a thousand of every tribe. And he sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the Priest, to the war. And the holy instruments—that is, the trumpets to blow—were in his hand.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD had Commanded Moses, and killed all the males.
8 They also killed the kings of Midian among those who were killed: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian. And they killed Balaam, the son of Beor, with the sword.
9 But the children of Israel took the women of Midian prisoners, and their children, and plundered all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their villages, with fire.
11 And they took all the plunder, and all the prey, both of men and beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and that which they had taken, and the spoil, to Moses and to Eleazar the Priest and to the Congregation of the children of Israel, into the camp in the plain of Moab, which was by Jordan, toward Jericho.
13 Then, Moses and Eleazar the Priest and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the camp to meet them.
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the army, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the war and battle.
15 And Moses said to them, “What? Have you saved all the women?
16 “Behold, these caused the children of Israel (through the counsel of Balaam) to commit a trespass against the LORD as concerning Peor. And there came a plague among the Congregation of the LORD.
17 “Now, therefore, kill all the males among the children, and kill all the women that have known man by carnal copulation.
18 “But all the female children that have not known carnal copulation, keep alive for yourselves.
19 “And you shall remain outside the camp for seven days, all who have killed any person and all who have touched any dead. And purify both yourselves and your prisoners on the third day and the seventh.
20 “Also, you shall purify every garment and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.”
21 And Eleazar the Priest said to the men of war which went to the battle, “This is the Ordinance of the Law which the LORD Commanded Moses.
22 “As for gold, and silver, brass, iron, tin, and lead —
23 “all that may abide the fire — you shall make it go through the fire. And it shall be clean. Still, it shall be purified with the water of purification. And all that is not subject to the fire, you shall cause to pass by the water.
24 “You shall also wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. And afterward you shall come into the camp.”
25 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
26 “Take the sum of the plunder that was taken, both of persons and of cattle, you and Eleazar the Priest, and the chief fathers of the Congregation.
27 “And divide the plunder between the soldiers that went to the war, and all the Congregation.
28 “And you shall take a tribute to the LORD from the men of war who went out to battle, one of every five hundred from the people and from the cattle and from the donkeys and from the sheep.
29 “You shall take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the Priest, as a Heave Offering to the LORD.
30 “But from the half of the children of Israel you shall take one, taken out of fifty, of the people, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep, of all the livestock. And you shall give them to the Levites, who are in charge of the Tabernacle of the LORD.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest did as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
32 And the remainder — the rest of the plunder which the men of war had taken — was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 and seventy-two thousand cattle,
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 and thirty-two thousand people, in all, of women who had lain by no man.
36 And the half — the part of those who went out to war, touching the number of sheep — was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred.
37 And the LORD’s tribute from the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
38 And there were thirty-six thousand cattle, of which the LORD’s tribute was seventy-two.
39 And there were thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, of which the LORD’s tribute was sixty-one.
40 And sixteen thousand people, of which the LORD’s tribute was thirty-two people.
41 And Moses gave the tribute from the LORD’s offering to Eleazar the Priest, as the LORD had Commanded Moses,
42 and from the half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided from the men of war.
43 For the half that pertained to the Congregation was three hundred thirty- seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 and thirty-six thousand cattle,
45 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46 and sixteen thousand people.
47 Moses, I say, took from the half that pertained to the children of Israel, (one taken out of fifty) of the persons, and of the cattle, and gave them to the Levites, who have the charge of the Tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
48 Then the captains who were over thousands of the army — the captains over the thousands and the captains over the hundreds — came to Moses,
49 and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our authority, and there lacks not one man of us.
50 “We have, therefore, brought a present to the LORD — what every man found of jewels of gold, bracelets, and chains, rings, earrings, and ornaments of the legs — to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest took the gold from them, and all wrought jewels.
52 And all the gold from the offering that they offered up to the LORD (of the captains over thousands and hundreds) was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
53 The men of war had plundered, every man for himself.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest took the gold from the captains over the thousands, and over the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the LORD.
75 We will praise You, O God! We will praise You, for Your Name is near! They will declare Your wondrous works.
2 “When I shall take a convenient time, I will judge righteously.
3 “The Earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved; but I will establish the pillars of it. Selah.
4 “I said to the foolish, ‘Do not be so foolish,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.
5 “‘Do not lift up your horn on High, nor speak with a stiff neck.’”
6 For exaltation is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge. He makes low and He makes high.
8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine is foaming. It is fully mixed, and He pours out of the same. Surely, all the wicked of the Earth shall drain and drink the dregs thereof.
9 But I will declare forever and sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Also, all the horns of the wicked I will break. But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. To him who excels on Neginoth: a Psalm, or song, committed to Asaph
76 God is known in Judah. His Name is great in Israel.
2 For in Salem is His Tabernacle; and His dwelling is in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are brighter and more excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of strength have not found their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast dead asleep.
7 You. You are to be feared. And who shall stand in Your sight when You are angry!
8 You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven. The Earth feared, and was still,
9 when You, O God, rose to judgment to help all the meek of the Earth. Selah.
10 Surely, the rage of man shall turn to Your praise; the remnant of the rage You shall restrain.
11 Vow and perform to the LORD your God, all you who surround Him; let them bring presents to Him Who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is feared by the kings of the Earth. For the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm committed to Asaph
23 The burden of Tyre. Howl you ships of Tarshish! The land of Kittim, it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, you who dwell in the isles. The merchants of Sidon, such as pass over the sea, have replenished you.
3 The seed of Nile, by the abundance of waters, the harvest of the river was her revenue and she was a marketplace of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, you Sidon! For the sea has spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, “I have neither labored, nor brought forth children, nor nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.”
5 When the fame comes to the Egyptians, they shall be sorry concerning the rumor of Tyre.
6 Go over to Tarshish. Howl, you who dwell in the isles!
7 Is not this your glorious city, her antiquity of ancient days? Her own feet shall lead her far away to be a sojourner.
8 Who has decreed this against Tyre, who crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the nobles of the world?
9 The LORD of Hosts has decreed this to stain the pride of all glory and to bring to contempt all those who are glorious on the Earth.
10 Pass through your land like a stream, O daughter of Tarshish! There is no more strength.
11 He stretched out His Hand upon the sea. He shook the kingdoms. The LORD has given a Commandment concerning the place of merchandise, to destroy its power.
12 And He said, “No more shall you rejoice, O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon! Rise up. Go out to Kittim. Even there you shall have no rest.”
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans. This was no people. Assyria founded it by the inhabitants of the wilderness. They set up its towers. They raised its palaces. And He brought it to ruin.
14 Howl you ships of Tarshish! For your strength is destroyed!
15 And on that day, Tyre shall be forgotten for seventy years (according to the years of one king). At the end of seventy years, Tyre shall sing as a harlot,
16 “Take a harp and go around the city, you harlot who has been forgotten. Make sweet melody, sing more songs, so that you may be remembered.”
17 And at the end of seventy years, the LORD shall visit Tyre. And it shall return to its wages and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the Earth in the world.
18 Yet, her profit and her wages shall be holy to the LORD. They shall not be laid up or kept in storage. But her merchandise shall be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently and to have durable clothing.
1 That Which was from the beginning, Which we have heard, Which we have seen with our eyes, Which we have looked upon and these hands of ours have handled concerning the Word of Life
2 (for that Life was revealed, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show to you that eternal Life Who was with the Father and was revealed to us);
3 that Which we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you may also have fellowship with us and that our fellowship may also be with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 And these things I write to you so that your joy may be full.
5 This, then, is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you: that God is light. And no darkness is in Him.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not truly.
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another. And the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. And truth is not in us.
9 If we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar. And His Word is not in us.
