Chap. XXXI.
The Madianites are slaine in battle, for that they had drawen the people of
Israel to sinne. 11. The praye is brought to Moyses, 14. VVho being angrie
that the wemen (which were the occasion of sinne) are saued aliue, commandeth
to kil al the male children, and al the wemen sauing only virgins.
19. The souldiars are purified, as also the praye, 26. and then diuided
among the victours, and other people, taking out portions for the Leuites.
48. The princes of the hoste geue free offerings to our Lord.
1 And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
2 Reuenge
first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so
thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
3 And Moyses forthwith
said: Arme of you men to fight, which may take the

reuenge of our Lord on the Madianites.
4 Let a thousand
men of euerie tribe be chosen of Israel to be sent to the
warre.
5 And they gaue a thousand of euerie tribe, that is to
say, twelue thousand wel appointed to fight:
6 whom Moyses
sent with Phinees the sonne of Eleazar the priest, and the
holie vessel, and the trumpettes to sound he deliuered to him.
7 And when they had fought against the Madianites and had
ouercome, al the men they slew,
8 and their kinges Eui, and
Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, fiue princes of the Nation:
note Balaam also the sonne of Beor they killed with the
sword.
9 And they tooke their wiues, and litle ones, and al
their goodes: whatsoeuer they had bene able to make, they
spoiled:
10 as wel cities as townes and castels the fire did
consume.
11 And they tooke the praye, and al thinges that
they had taken as wel of men as of beastes,
12 and they
brought them to Moyses, and Eleazar the priest, and to al the
multitude of the children of Israel. but the rest of the implementes
they caried to the campe in the champion countries
of Moab, beside Iordan against Iericho.
13 And Moyses and
Eleazar the priest went forth, and al the princes of the synagogue
to meete them without the campe.
14 And Moyses
being angrie with the princes of the hoste, the tribunes, and
the centurions that were come from the battle,
15 said:
Why haue you reserued the wemen?
16 Are not these they,
that deceiued the children of Israel at the suggestion of Balaam,
and made you preuaricate against our Lord vpon note the
sinne of Phogor, whereupon also the people was stroken?
17 Therfore kil al whatsoeuer is of the male sexe, among note the
litle ones also: and the wemen, that haue knowne men in
carnal copulation, slea ye:
18 but the gyrles and al the
wemen that are virgins reserue to you:
19 and tarying without
the campe seuen dayes. He that hath killed a man, or
touched him that is killed, shal be expiated the third day and
the seuenth.
20 And of al the praye, whether it be garment,
or vessel, and some thing prepared for implementes, of
goates skinnes, and heare, and wood shal be expiated.
21 Eleazar
also the priest spake to the hoste, that had fought, in this
maner: This is the precept of the law, which our Lord hath
commanded Moyses:
22 Gold, and siluer, and brasse, and
yron, and leade, and tinne,
23 and al that may passe through
the fyre, shal be purged by fyre, but whatsoeuer: can not
-- --
Praye diuided.
abide the fire, shal be sanctified with the water of expiation:
24 and you shal wash your garmentes the seuenth day, and
being purified, afterward you shal enter into the campe.
25 And our Lord said to Moyses:
26 Take the summe of those
thinges, that were taken from man vnto beast, thou and
Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:
27 and
thou shalt diuide the praye equally betwene them, that
fought & went forth to the warre, and betwen the rest of the
multitude.
28 and thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord
from them, that fought and were in the battle, one soule of
fiue hundred as wel of mankind as of oxen and asses and
sheepe,
29 and thou shalt geue it to Eleazar the priest, because
they are the first fruites of the Lord.
30 Out of the halfe
part also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftith
head of mankind, and of oxen, and asses, and sheepe, and of
al beastes, and thou shalt geue them to the Leuites, that
watch in the custodies of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 And
Moyses and Eleazar did, as our Lord commanded.
32 And
the praye which the hoste had taken, was of sheepe six hundred
seuentie fiue thousand,
33 of oxen seuentie two thousand,
34 of asses sixtie one thousand.
35 The soules of the
folkes of the female sexe, that had not knowne men, thirtie
two thousand.
36 And the halfe part was geuen to them, that
had bene in the battle, of sheepe three hundred thirtie seuen
thousand fiue hundred:
37 of the which for the portion of
our Lord were reckened sheepe six hundred seuentie fiue.
38 And of the thirtie six thousand oxen, oxen seuentie and
two:
39 of the thirtie thousand fiue hundred asses, asses sixtie
one:
40 of the soules of mankind sixtene thousand, there
fel to the portion of our Lord thirtie two soules.
41 And
Moyses deliuered the number of the first fruites of our Lord
to Eleazar the priest, as it had bene commanded him,
42 of
the halfe part of the children of Israel, which he had separated
to them, that had bene in the battle.
43 But of the halfe
part that had chanced to the rest of the multitude, that is to
say, of the three hundred thirtie seuen thousand fiue hundred
sheepe,
44 and of the thirtie six thousand oxen,
45 and of the
thirtie thousand fiue hundred asses,
46 and of the sixtene
thousand of mankind,
47 Moyses tooke the fiftith head, and
gaue it to the Leuites, that watched in the tabernacle of our
Lord, as our Lord had commanded.
48 And when the princes
-- --

of the hoste were come to Moyses, and the tribunes, and
centurions, they said:
49 We thy seruantes haue reckened the
number of the warryers, which we had vnder our hand: and
not so much as one verily was lacking.
50 For this cause we
offer in the donaties of our Lord euerie one that which we
could finde in the praye of gold, garters and tablettes, ringes
and braceletes, and cheynes, that thou maiest pray to our
Lord for vs.
51 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest receiued al
the gold in diuerse formes,
52 in weight sixtene thousand,
seuen hundred fiftie sicles of the tribunes and of the centurions.
53 For that which euerie one had spoiled in the praye,
was his owne.
54 And that which was receiued they brought
into the tabernacle of testimonie, for a monument of the
children of Israel before our Lord.
