On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.

their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

:

“‘You shall offer these to Yahweh in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.’”


:

Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses.


:

Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.


:

When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.


:

“Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth,


:

and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.


:

But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.


:

“If she is [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,


:

and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.


:

But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her.


:

“But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.


:

“If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,


:

and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn’t disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.


:

But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her.


:

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.


:

But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.


:

But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”


:

These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.


:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,


:

“Avenge the children of Israel for the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”


:

Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Yahweh’s vengeance on Midian.


:

Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war.”


:

So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.


:

Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.


:

They warred against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male.


:

They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword.


:

The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.


:

All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.


:

They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of animal.


:

They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.


:

Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside of the camp.


:

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.


:

Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?


:

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.


:

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.


:

But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.


:

“Encamp 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.


:

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.”


:

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:


:

however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,


:

everything that may withstand 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.


:

You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.”


:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,


:

“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;


:

and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.


:

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 cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the flocks:


:

take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh’s wave offering.


:

Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, [even] of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the tabernacle of Yahweh.”


:

Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.


:

Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,


:

and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,


:

and sixty-one thousand donkeys,


:

and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
