31 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the sons of Israel upon the Midianites; afterward thou shalt be gathered unto thy peoples.
3 And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war and let them go against the Midianites and carry out the vengeance of the LORD in Midian.
4 A thousand out of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war; he sent a thousand of every tribe; and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went to the war with the holy instruments, with the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 ¶ And they fought against the Midianites as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they also slew the kings of Midian among the rest of those that were slain: namely, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, five kings of Midian; they also slew Balaam, the son of Beor, with the sword.
9 And the sons of Israel took all the women of Midian captives and their little ones and took the spoil of all their beasts and all their flocks and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt and all their palaces with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives and the prey and the spoil unto Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and unto the congregation of the sons of Israel, unto the camp in the plains of Moab, which was by Jordan of Jericho.
13 ¶ And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and all the princes of the congregation went forth to meet them outside the camp.
14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds who returned from the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the sons of Israel through the counsel of Balaam to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor for which there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones and kill every woman that has known a man by lying with him.
18 But all the female children that have not known a man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
19 And ye must abide outside the camp seven days; and whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any dead body ye shall remove the sin from them on the third and on the seventh day, both of yourselves and of your captives.
20 Likewise remove all sin from all your clothing and all that is made of skins and all work of goats’ hair and every vessel made of wood.
21 And Eleazar, the priest, said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 certainly the gold and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 every thing that may endure the fire, ye shall cause to pass through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless, ye shall remove the sin with the water of separation; and all that does not endure the fire ye shall cause to go through the water.
24 Ye shall also wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterwards ye shall come into the camp.
25 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou and Eleazar, the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation,
27 and divide the prey into two parts between those that took the part in the war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28 And offer a tribute unto the LORD from the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the sheep.
29 Take it from their half and give Eleazar, the priest, the offering of the LORD.
30 And of the half belonging to the sons of Israel, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of animals and give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31 And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 And the prey, that is the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep
33 and seventy-two thousand oxen
34 and sixty-one thousand asses
35 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known a man by lying with him.
36 And the half which was the portion of those that went out to war was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.
37 And the tribute for the LORD, of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
38 And the oxen were thirty-six thousand, of which the tribute for the LORD was seventy-two.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the tribute for the LORD was sixty-one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, of which the tribute for the LORD was thirty-two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s heave offering, unto Eleazar, the priest, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
42 And of the half pertaining to the sons of Israel, which Moses divided from the men that had gone to war,
43 (now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep
44 and thirty-six thousand oxen
45 and thirty thousand five hundred asses
46 and sixteen thousand persons)
47 of the half, therefore of the sons of Israel, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
48 ¶ And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses,
49 and they said unto Moses, Thy slaves have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge and not one man of us is missing.
50 We have therefore brought an offering for the LORD, each man of what he has found, of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to reconcile our souls before the LORD.
51 And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, took the gold from them, all wrought vessels.
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, took the gold from the captains of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the sons of Israel before the LORD.
To the Overcomer upon, Do not destroy, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1 ¶ Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks, for that thy name is near, thy wondrous works declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation, I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I bore up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Do not deal foolishly and to the wicked, Do not lift up the horn:
5 Do not lift up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
6 ¶ For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert.
7 But God is the judge; he puts down one and sets up another.
8 For the cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof, shall wring out and swallow up all the wicked of the earth.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 And I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
To the Overcomer on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1 ¶ In Judah is God known; his name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the war. Selah.
4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted are spoiled; they have slept their sleep; and nothing was found in the hands of the men of might.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 ¶ Thou, even thou, art to be feared, and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 From the heavens thou didst cause judgment to be heard; the earth feared and was still,
9 when thou didst arise unto judgment, O God, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall cause praise to come unto thee; the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11 Vow and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
23 ¶ The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in; from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou mart of Zidon, that by passing over the sea thou wert replenished.
3 Her provision was from the plantings that grow with the many waters of the Nile, of the harvest of the river. She was also the mart of the Gentiles.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon, for the sea has spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I have never travailed nor brought forth children, neither did I nourish up young men nor bring up virgins.
5 When the report comes unto Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the news from Tyre.
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
8 Who has decreed this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honourable of the earth?
9 The LORD of the hosts has purposed it to stain the pride of all glory and to bring down all those who are exalted in the earth.
10 Pass by as a river from thy land, O daughter of Tarshish; for thou shalt have no more strength.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea; he shook the kingdoms; the LORD commanded upon Canaan that her strength should be weakened.
12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon; arise, pass over to Chittim, and even there thou shalt have no rest.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans. This people was not until the Assyrian founded it for those that dwell in the wilderness; they set up its towers; they raised up its palaces, and he brought it to ruin.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your strength is laid waste.
15 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years according to the days of one king; after the end of seventy years Tyre shall sing as a harlot.
16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing the song again that thou may be remembered.
17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire and shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 But her profit and her hire shall be consecrated unto the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up for her profit shall be for those that dwell before the LORD, to eat until they are filled and to dress honourably.
1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life
2 (for the life is manifested, and we also saw it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father and appeared unto us);
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have communion with us; and truly our communion is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be fulfilled.
5 ¶ This then is the promise which we have heard of him and declare unto you, That God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth;
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have communion with him in the midst of us, 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 there is no truth in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
