04:031:013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
04:031:014 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which
came from the battle.
04:031:015 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
04:031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the
counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the
matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation
of the LORD.
04:031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
04:031:018 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying
with him, keep alive for yourselves.
04:031:019 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath
killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain,
purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and
on the seventh day.
04:031:020 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins,
and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
04:031:021 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;
04:031:022 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin,
and the lead,
04:031:023 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go
through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall
be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth
not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
04:031:024 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye
shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
04:031:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of
beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of
the congregation:
04:031:027 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the
war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
congregation:
04:031:028 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went
out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons,
and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
04:031:029 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest,
for an heave offering of the LORD.
04:031:030 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one
portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses,
and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto
the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
LORD.
