⁴⁰And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

Numbers 30

¹And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.

²If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.

³If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth,

⁴and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

⁵But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.

⁶And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,

⁷and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

⁸But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.

⁹But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, -- everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.

¹⁰And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,

¹¹and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

¹²But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.

¹³Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.

¹⁴And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.

¹⁵But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

¹⁶These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.

Numbers 31

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.

³And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.

⁴Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

⁵And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

⁶And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.

⁷And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.

⁸And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

⁹And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;

¹⁰and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.

¹¹And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;

¹²and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho.

¹³And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.

¹⁴And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;

¹⁵and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

¹⁶Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.

¹⁷And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,

¹⁸but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.

¹⁹And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

²⁰And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.

²¹And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²²Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

²³everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water.

²⁴And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.

²⁵And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁶Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;

²⁷and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.

²⁸And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.

²⁹Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.

³⁰And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every kind of beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.

³¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

³²And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

³³and seventy-two thousand oxen,

³⁴and sixty-one thousand asses,

³⁵and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.

³⁶And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

³⁷and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;

³⁸and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;

³⁹and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;

⁴⁰and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.

⁴¹And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

⁴²And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, taking it from the men that served in the war,

⁴³(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,

⁴⁴and thirty-six thousand oxen,

⁴⁵and thirty thousand five hundred asses,

⁴⁶and sixteen thousand human persons,)

⁴⁷... of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

⁴⁸And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,

⁴⁹and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.

⁵⁰So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.

⁵¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels.

⁵²And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.

⁵³(The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)

⁵⁴And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
