wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her
father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith
she bound her soul;
7 And her husband heard it,and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows
shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow
which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of
none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls,
shall stand against her.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, anddisallowed her not: then all her vows
shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; thenwhatsoever
proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not
stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her
husband may make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all
her vows, or all her bonds, which areupon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at
her in the day that he heard them.
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear
her iniquity.
16 These arethe statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife,
between the father and his daughter, being yetin her youth in her father's house.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy
people.
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them
go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of everytribe, twelve
thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of everytribe, them and Phinehas the son of
Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the
males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and
Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew
with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took allthe women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and
took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, bothof men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the
priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab,
which areby Jordan nearJericho.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to

meet them without the camp.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, withthe captains over thousands, and
captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit
trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation
of the LORD.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known
man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for
yourselves.
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and
whosoever hath touched any slain, purify bothyourselves and your captives on the third day, and
on the seventh day.
20 And purify all yourraiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all
things made of wood.
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This isthe
ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make itgo through the fire, and it shall be
clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not
the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye
shall come into the camp.
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, bothof man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the
priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went
out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of
five hundred, bothof the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 Take itof their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, foran heave offering of the LORD.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of
the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the
Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, beingthe rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred
thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with
him.
36 And the half, which wasthe portion of them that went out to war, was in number three
hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 And the beeves werethirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute wasthreescore
and twelve.
39 And the asses werethirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was
threescore and one.

40 And the persons weresixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute wasthirty and two
persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which wasthe LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as
the LORD commanded Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 (Now the half that pertained untothe congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty
thousand andseven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, bothof man and of
beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
48 And the officers which wereover thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and
captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are
under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels
of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls
before the LORD.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, evenall wrought jewels.
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of
thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty
shekels.
53 (Forthe men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds,
and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, fora memorial for the children of Israel
before the LORD.
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and
when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place wasa place for
cattle;
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the
priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo,
and Beon,
4 Eventhe country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, isa land for cattle,
and thy servants have cattle:
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy
servants for a possession, andbring us not over Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go
to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land
which the LORD hath given them?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart
of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall
see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not
