031:014 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains
of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from
the service of the war.
031:015 Moses said to them, Have you saved all the women alive?
031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel
of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor,
and so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh.
031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
every woman who has known man by lying with him.
031:018 But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him,
keep alive for yourselves.
031:019 Encamp you outside of the camp seven days: whoever has
killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain,
purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day,
you and your captives.
031:020 As to every garment, and all that is made of skin,
and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood,
you shall purify yourselves.
031:021 Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle,
This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses:
031:022 however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin,
and the lead,
031:023 everything that may abide the fire, you shall make to go
through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it
shall be purified with the water for impurity:
and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go
through the water.
031:024 You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall
be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.
031:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal,
you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers'
[houses] of the congregation;
031:027 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled
in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
031:028 Levy a tribute to Yahweh of 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 donkeys, and of the flocks:
031:029 take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest,
for Yahweh's wave offering.
031:030 Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out
of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys,
and of the flocks, [even] of all the livestock, and give them
to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tent of Yahweh.
031:031 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
031:032 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took,
was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
031:033 and seventy-two thousand oxen,
031:034 and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
031:035 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had
