New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
1
Then the
Lord
spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Take vengeance on the Midianites for the sons of Israel; afterward you will be gathered to your people.'
3
So Moses spoke to the people, saying, 'Arm men from among you for the war, so that they may go against Midian to execute the
Lord
’S vengeance on Midian.
4
You shall send a thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel to the war.'
5
So there were selected from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6
And 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 implements and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7
So they made war against Midian, just as the
Lord
had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
8
They killed the kings of Midian along with the
rest of
those killed: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
9
And the sons of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and they plundered all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their property.
10
Then they burned all their cities where they lived and all their encampments.
11
And they took all the plunder and all the spoils, both of people and of livestock.
12
They brought the captives and the spoils and the plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab which are by the Jordan,
opposite
Jericho.
King James Version
Chapter 31
1
And the
Lord
spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the
Lord
of Midian.
4
Of every tribe a thousand, 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, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7
And they warred against the Midianites, as the
Lord
commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8
And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9
And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, 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 children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

1
The
Lord
spoke to Moses,
2
"Execute vengeance for the Israelites against the Midianites. After that, you will be gathered to your people."
3
So Moses spoke to the people, "Equip some of your men for war. They will go against Midian to inflict the
Lord
’s vengeance on them.
4
Send one thousand men to war from each Israelite tribe."
5
So one thousand were recruited from each Israelite tribe out of the thousands in Israel—twelve thousand equipped for war.
6
Moses sent one thousand from each tribe to war. They went with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, in whose care were the holy objects and signal trumpets.
7
They waged war against Midian, as the
Lord
had commanded Moses, and killed every male.
8
Along with the others slain by them, they killed the Midianite kings—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9
The Israelites took the Midianite women and their dependents captive, and they plundered all their cattle, flocks, and property.
10
Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites lived, as well as all their encampments,
11
and took away all the spoils of war and the captives, both people and animals.
12
They brought the prisoners, animals, and spoils of war to Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the Israelite community at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
New Living Translation
Chapter 31
1
Then the
Lord
said to Moses,
2
On behalf of the people of Israel, take revenge on the Midianites for leading them into idolatry. After that, you will die and join your ancestors.'
3
So Moses said to the people, 'Choose some men, and arm them to fight the
Lord
’s war of revenge against Midian.
4
From each tribe of Israel, send 1,000 men into battle.'
5
So they chose 1,000 men from each tribe of Israel, a total of 12,000 men armed for battle.
6
Then Moses sent them out, 1,000 men from each tribe, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest led them into battle. They carried along the holy objects of the sanctuary and the trumpets for sounding the charge.
7
They attacked Midian as the
Lord
had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men.
8
All five of the Midianite kings — Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba — died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9
Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.
10
They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived.
11
After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals,
12
they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
