War with Midian
31
The
Lord
spoke to Moses,
2
“Execute vengeance for the Israelites against the Midianites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
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 1,000 men to war from each Israelite tribe.”
5
So 1,000 were recruited from each Israelite tribe out of the thousands in Israel — 12,000 equipped for war.
6
Moses sent 1,000 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 children 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 man and beast.
12
They brought the prisoners, animals, and spoils of war to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite community at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.

13
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.
14
But Moses became furious with the officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, who were returning from the military campaign.
15
“Have you let every female live? ” he asked them.
16
“Yet they are the ones who, at Balaam's advice, incited the Israelites to unfaithfulness against the
Lord
in the Peor incident, so that the plague came against the
Lord
's community.
17
So now, kill all the male children and kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man,
18
but keep alive for yourselves all the young females who have not had sexual relations.

“You are to remain outside the camp for seven days. All of you and your prisoners who have killed a person or touched the dead are to purify yourselves on the third day and the seventh day.
20
Also purify everything: garments, leather goods, things made of goat hair, and every article of wood.”

21
Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone to battle, “This is the legal statute the
Lord
commanded Moses:
22
Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead —
23
everything that can withstand fire — you are to pass through fire, and it will be
•clean
. It must still be purified with the purification water. Anything that cannot withstand fire, pass through the water.
24
On the seventh day wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”

25
The
Lord
told Moses,
26
“You, Eleazar the priest, and the family leaders of the community are to take a count of what was captured, man and beast.
27
Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to war and the entire community.
28
Set aside a tribute for the
Lord
from what belongs to the fighting men who went out to war: one out of every 500 humans, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.
29
Take the tribute from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to the
Lord
.
30
From the Israelites' half, take one out of every 50 from the people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats, all the livestock, and give them to the Levites who perform the duties of the
Lord
's tabernacle.”

The Reubenites and Gadites had a very large number of livestock. When they surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, they saw that the region was a good one for livestock.
2
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community and said:
3
“The territory of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4
which the
Lord
struck down before the community of Israel, is good land for livestock, and your servants own livestock.”
5
They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Don't make us cross the Jordan.”

5
They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Don't make us cross the Jordan.”
6
But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your brothers go to war while you stay here?
7
Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land the
Lord
has given them?
8
That's what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
9
After they went up as far as Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the
Lord
had given them.
10
So the
Lord
's anger burned that day, and He swore an oath:
11
‘Because they did not follow Me completely, none of the men 20 years old or more who came up from Egypt will see the land I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob —
12
none except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, because they did follow the
Lord
completely.'
13
The
Lord
's anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness 40 years until the whole generation that had done what was evil in the
Lord
's sight was gone.
14
And here you, a brood of sinners, stand in your fathers' place adding even more to the
Lord
's burning anger against Israel.
15
If you turn back from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will destroy all of them.”

16
Then they approached him and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our dependents.
17
But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our dependents will remain in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18
We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has taken possession of his inheritance.
19
Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance will be across the Jordan to the east.”

19

20
Moses replied to them, “If you do this — if you arm yourselves for battle before the
Lord
,
21
and every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the
Lord
until He has driven His enemies from His presence,
22
and the land is subdued before the
Lord
— afterward you may return and be free from obligation to the
Lord
and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the
Lord
.
23
But if you don't do this, you will certainly sin against the
Lord
; be sure your sin will catch up with you.
24
Build cities for your dependents and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
Moses replied to them, “If you do this — if you arm yourselves for battle before the

24

25
The Gadites and Reubenites answered Moses, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.
26
Our little children, wives, livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead,
27
but your servants are equipped for war before the
Lord
and will go across to the battle as my lord orders.”
The Gadites and Reubenites answered Moses, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.
26
Our little children, wives, livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead,
27
but your servants are equipped for war before the
Lord
and will go across to the battle as my lord orders.”
28
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite tribes.
29
Moses told them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, every man in battle formation before the
Lord
, and the land is subdued before you, you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30
But if they don't go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you.”
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite tribes.
29
Moses told them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, every man in battle formation before the
Lord
, and the land is subdued before you, you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30
But if they don't go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you.”
31
The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “What the
Lord
has spoken to your servants is what we will do.
32
We will cross over in battle formation before the
Lord
into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan.”
The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “What the
Lord
has spoken to your servants is what we will do.
32
We will cross over in battle formation before the
Lord
into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan.”
33
So Moses gave them — the Gadites, Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph — the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land including its cities with the territories surrounding them.
34
The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and built sheepfolds.
37
The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38
as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.

So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled in it.

Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages, which he renamed Jair's Villages.
