⁶Moses sent them, a thousand from each tribe, to the battle, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the battle with them, and the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets of the blast were in his hand. ⁷And they fought against Midian just as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they killed every male. ⁸They killed the kings of Midian in addition to the ones they had slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam son of Beor by the sword. ⁹The Israelites^c took captive the women of Midian and their children, and they plundered all their domestic animals and all their livestock and all their wealth. ¹⁰They burned all their cities where they dwelled and all their camps with fire. ¹¹They took all the plunder and all the war-booty with the humans^d and domestic animals.^e ¹²They brought the captives, the war-booty, and the plunder to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the Israelites,^f to the camp to the desert-plateau of Moab, which was on the Jordan across Jericho.

¹³And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went out to meet them outside the camp.
