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.
