Números 31
Crampon 1923
1Yahweh parla à Moïse, en disant:
2"Venge les enfants d`Israël sur les Madianites; tu seras ensuite recueilli auprès de ton peuple."
3Moïse parla au peuple, en disant: "Armez pour la guerre des hommes d`entre vous, et qu`ils marchent contre Madian, pour exécuter la vengeance de Yahweh sur Madian.
4Vous enverrez à la guerre mille hommes par tribu, de toutes les tribus d`Israël."
5On leva donc d`entre les milliers d`Israël mille hommes par tribu, soit douze mille hommes armés pour la guerre.
6Moïse les envoya au combat, mille hommes par tribu, eux et Phinées, le fils d`Eléazar, le prêtre, qui avait avec lui les instruments sacrés et les trompettes retentissantes.
7Ils s`avancèrent contre Madian, selon l`ordre que Yahweh avait donné à Moïse, et ils tuèrent tous les mâles.
8Outre ceux qui étaient tombés dans la bataille, ils tuèrent les rois de Madian: Evi, Récem, Sur, Hur et Rebé, cinq rois de Madian; ils tuèrent aussi par l`épée Balaam, fils de Béor.
9Les enfants d`Israël firent prisonnières les femmes des Madianites avec leurs petis enfants, et ils pillèrent toutes leurs bêtes de somme, tous leurs troupeaux et tous leurs biens.
10Ils livrèrent aux flammes toutes les villes du pays qu`ils habitaient et tous leurs campements.
11Ayant pris tout le butin et toutes les dépouilles, gens et bestiaux,
12ils amenèrent les prisonniers, les dépouilles et le butin à Moïse, à Eléazar, le prêtre, et à l`assemblée des enfants d`Israël, au camp, dans les plaines de Moab, près du Jourdain, vis-à-vis de Jéricho.
13Moïse, Eléazar, le prêtre, et tous les princes de l`assemblée sortirent au-devant
14d`eux, hors du camp. Et Moïse s`irrita contre les commandants de l`armée, les chefs de milliers et les chefs de centaines, qui revenaient du combat.
15Il leur dit: "Avez-vous donc laissé la vie à toutes les femmes?
16Voici, ce sont elles qui, sur la parole de Balaam, ont entraîné les enfants d`Israël à l`infidélité envers Yahweh, dans l`affaire de Phogor; et alors la plaie fut dans l`assemblée de Yahweh.
17Maintenant, tuez tout mâle parmi les petits enfants, et tuez toute femme qui a connu la couche d`un
18mais toutes les filles qui n`ont pas connu la couche d`un homme, laissez-les vivre pour vous.
19Et vous, campez hors du camp pendant sept jours; quiconque a tué quelqu`un et quiconque a touché un mort se purifiera le troisième jour et le septième jour, lui et vos prisonniers.
20Vous purfierez aussi tout vêtement, tout objet de peau, tout ouvrage de poil de chèvre et tout ustensile de bois."
21Eléazar, le prêtre, dit aux hommes de guerre qui étaient allés au combat: "Voici ce qui est commandé par la loi que Yahweh a prescrite à Moïse:
22l`or, l`argent, l`airain, le fer, l`étain et le plomb,
23tout objet qui va au feu, vous le ferez passer par le feu, et il sera pur; toutefois il sera purifié encore par l`eau de purification. Tout ce qui ne va pas au feu, vous le ferez passer par l`eau.
24Vous laverez vos vêtements, le septième jour, et vous serez purs; vous pourrez ensuite entrer dans le camp.
25Yahweh parla à Moïse, en disant:
26"Fais, toi et Eléazar, le prêtre, et les chefs de maisons de l`assemblée, le compte de ce qui a été pris des dépouilles en hommes et en bestiaux,
27et partage les dépouilles entre les combattants qui sont allés à la guerre et toute l`assemblée.
28Tu prélèveras sur la part des soldats qui sont allés à la guerre un tribut pour Yahweh, savoir un sur cinq cents, gens, boeufs, ânes et brebis.
29Vous le prendrez sur leur moitié et tu le donneras à Eléazar, le prêtre, comme prélèvement de Yahweh.
30Sur la moitié qui revient aux enfants d`Israël, tu mettras à part un sur cinquante, gens, boeufs, ânes, brebis et tout bétail, et tu le donneras aux Lévites, qui ont la garde de la Demeure de Yahweh."
31Moïse et Eléazar, le prêtre, firent comme Yahweh l`avait ordonné à Moïse.
32Les dépouilles, le reste du butin qu`avaient fait les combattants étaient de six cent soixante-quinze mille brebis,
33soixante-douze mille boeufs,
34soixante-un mille ânes,
35et trente-deux mille d`entre les femmes qui n`avaient pas connu la couche d`un homme.
36La moitié, part de ceux qui étaient allés à la guerre, fut de trois cent trente-sept mille cinq cents brebis,
37six cent soixante-quinze brebis pour le tribut de Yahweh;
38trente-six mille boeufs, dont soixante-douze pour le tribut de Yahweh;
39trente mille cinq cents ânes, dont soixante-et-un pour le tribut de Yahweh;
40et seize mille personnes, trente-deux personnes pour le tribut de Yahweh.
41Moïse donna à Eléazar, le prêtre, le tribut prélevé pour Yahweh, ainsi que Yahweh l`avait ordonné à
42Quant à la moitié revenant aux enfants d`Israël, que Moïse avait séparée de celle des combattants,
43cette moitié formant la part de l`assemblée fut de trois cent trente-sept mille cinq cents brebis,
44trente-six mille boeufs,
45trente mille cinq cents ânes
46et seize mille personnes.
47Sur cette moitié qui revenait aux enfants d`Israël, Moïse prit un sur cinquante et le donna aux Lévites, qui ont la garde de la Demeure de Yahweh, ainsi que Yahweh l`avait ordonné à Moïse.
48Les commandants des milliers de l`armée, les chefs de milliers et les chefs de
49centaines, s`approchèrent de Moïse et lui dirent: "Tes serviteurs ont compté les combattants qui étaient sous nos ordres, et il ne manque pas un homme d`entre nous.
50C`est pourquoi nous apportons comme offrande à Yahweh les objets d`or que chacun de nous a trouvés, bracelets, chaînettes, anneaux, pendants d`oreilles et colliers, pour faire l`expiation pour nous devant
51Moïse et Eléazar, le prêtre, reçurent d`eux cet or, tous ces objets bien travaillés.
52tout l`or prélevé qu`ils présentèrent à Yahweh de la part des chefs de milliers et des chefs de centaines, fut de seize mille sept cent cinquante sicles.
53Les hommes de la troupe eurent chacun leur butin pour eux.
54Moïse et Eléazar, le prêtre, ayant pris l`or des chefs de milliers et des chefs de centaines, l`apportèrent dans la tente de réunion, comme mémorial pour les enfants d`Israël devant Yahweh.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés, diciendo:
2Haz la venganza de los hijos de Israel sobre los Madianitas; después serás recogido á tus pueblos.
3Entonces Moisés habló al pueblo, diciendo: Armaos algunos de vosotros para la guerra, é irán contra Madián, y harán la venganza de Jehová en Madián.
4Mil de cada tribu de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel, enviaréis á la guerra.
5Así fueron dados de los millares de Israel, mil por cada tribu, doce mil á punto de guerra.
6Y Moisés los envió á la guerra: mil de cada tribu envió: y Phinees, hijo de Eleazar sacerdote, fué á la guerra con los santos instrumentos, con las trompetas en su mano para tocar.
7Y pelearon contra Madián, como Jehová lo mandó á Moisés, y mataron á todo varón.
8Mataron también, entre los muertos de ellos, á los reyes de Madián: Evi, y Recem, y Zur, y Hur, y Reba, cinco reyes de Madián: á Balaam también, hijo de Beor, mataron á cuchillo.
9Y llevaron cautivas los hijos de Israel las mujeres de los Madianitas, y sus chiquitos y todas sus bestias, y todos sus ganados; y arrebataron toda su hacienda.
10Y abrasaron con fuego todas sus ciudades, aldeas y castillos.
11Y tomaron todo el despojo, y toda la presa, así de hombres como de bestias.
12Y trajeron á Moisés, y á Eleazar el sacerdote, y á la congregación de los hijos de Israel, los cautivos y la presa y los despojos, al campo en los llanos de Moab, que están junto al Jordán de Jericó.
13Y salieron Moisés y Eleazar el sacerdote, y todos los príncipes de la congregación, á recibirlos fuera del campo.
14Y enojóse Moisés contra los capitanes del ejército, contra los tribunos y centuriones que volvían de la guerra;
15Y díjoles Moisés: ¿Todas las mujeres habéis reservado?
16He aquí ellas fueron á los hijos de Israel, por consejo de Balaam, para causar prevaricación contra Jehová en el negocio de Peor; por lo que hubo mortandad en la congregación de Jehová.
17Matad pues ahora todos los varones entre los niños: matad también toda mujer que haya conocido varón carnalmente.
18Y todas las niñas entre las mujeres, que no hayan conocido ayuntamiento de varón, os reservaréis vivas.
19Y vosotros quedaos fuera del campo siete días: y todos los que hubieren matado persona, y cualquiera que hubiere tocado muerto, os purificaréis al tercero y al séptimo día, vosotros y vuestros cautivos.
20Asimismo purificaréis todo vestido, y toda prenda de pieles, y toda obra de pelos de cabra, y todo vaso de madera.
21Y Eleazar el sacerdote dijo á los hombres de guerra que venían de la guerra: Esta es la ordenanza de la ley que Jehová ha mandado á Moisés:
22Ciertamente el oro, y la plata, metal, hierro, estaño, y plomo,
23Todo lo que resiste el fuego, por fuego lo haréis pasar, y será limpio, bien que en las aguas de purificación habrá de purificarse: mas haréis pasar por agua todo lo que no aguanta el fuego.
24Además lavaréis vuestros vestidos el séptimo día, y así seréis limpios; y después entraréis en el campo.
25Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
26Toma la cuenta de la presa que se ha hecho, así de las personas como de las bestias, tú y el sacerdote Eleazar, y las cabezas de los padres de la congregación:
27Y partirás por mitad la presa entre los que pelearon, los que salieron á la guerra, y toda la congregación.
28Y apartarás para Jehová el tributo de los hombres de guerra, que salieron á la guerra: de quinientos uno, así de las personas como de los bueyes, de los asnos, y de las ovejas:
29De la mitad de ellos lo tomarás; y darás á Eleazar el sacerdote la ofrenda de Jehová.
30Y de la mitad perteneciente á los hijos de Israel tomarás uno de cincuenta, de las personas, de los bueyes, de los asnos, y de las ovejas, de todo animal; y los darás á los Levitas, que tienen la guarda del tabernáculo de Jehová.
31E hicieron Moisés y Eleazar el sacerdote como Jehová mandó á Moisés.
32Y fué la presa, el resto de la presa que tomaron los hombres de guerra, seiscientas y setenta y cinco mil ovejas,
33Y setenta y dos mil bueyes,
34Y setenta y un mil asnos;
35Y en cuanto á personas, de mujeres que no habían conocido ayuntamiento de varón, en todas treinta y dos mil.
36Y la mitad, la parte de los que habían salido á la guerra, fué el número de trescientas treinta y siete mil y quinientas ovejas.
37Y el tributo para Jehová de las ovejas, fué seiscientas setenta y cinco.
38Y de los bueyes, treinta y seis mil: y de ellos el tributo para Jehová, setenta y dos.
39Y de los asnos, treinta mil y quinientos: y de ellos el tributo para Jehová, setenta y uno.
40Y de las personas, diez y seis mil: y de ellas el tributo para Jehová, treinta y dos personas.
41Y dió Moisés el tributo, por elevada ofrenda á Jehová, á Eleazar el sacerdote, como Jehová lo mandó á Moisés.
42Y de la mitad para los hijos de Israel, que apartó Moisés de los hombres que habían ido á la guerra;
43(La mitad para la congregación fué: de las ovejas, trescientas treinta y siete mil y quinientas;
44Y de los bueyes, treinta y seis mil;
45Y de los asnos, treinta mil y quinientos;
46Y de las personas, diez y seis mil:)
47De la mitad, pues, para los hijos de Israel tomó Moisés uno de cada cincuenta, así de las personas como de los animales, y diólos á los Levitas, que tenían la guarda del tabernáculo de Jehová; como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.
48Y llegaron á Moisés los jefes de los millares de aquel ejército, los tribunos y centuriones;
49Y dijeron á Moisés: Tus siervos han tomado razón de los hombres de guerra que están en nuestro poder, y ninguno ha faltado de nosotros.
50Por lo cual hemos ofrecido á Jehová ofrenda, cada uno de lo que ha hallado, vasos de oro, brazaletes, manillas, anillos, zarcillos, y cadenas, para hacer expiación por nuestras almas delante de Jehová.
51Y Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar recibieron el oro de ellos, alhajas, todas elaboradas.
52Y todo el oro de la ofrenda que ofrecieron á Jehová de los tribunos y centuriones, fué diez y seis mil setecientos y cincuenta siclos.
53Los hombres del ejército habían pillado cada uno para sí.
54Recibieron, pues, Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar, el oro de los tribunos y centuriones, y trajéronlo al tabernáculo del testimonio, por memoria de los hijos de Israel delante de Jehová.
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3And 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.
4Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8And 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.
9And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12And 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 are by Jordan near Jericho.
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16Behold, 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.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go 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.
24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
30And 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.
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34And threescore and one thousand asses,
35And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37And the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute was threescore and twelve.
39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’s tribute was threescore and one.
40And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute was thirty and two persons.
41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46And sixteen thousand persons;)
47Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of 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.
48And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49And 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.
50We 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.
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52And 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(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54And 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, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
World English Bible
1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2“Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
3Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD’s vengeance on Midian.
4You shall send one thousand out of every tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
5So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war with 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.
7They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses. They killed every male.
8They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
9The children of Israel took the women of Midian captive with their little ones; and all their livestock, all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as plunder.
10All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burned with fire.
11They took all the captives, and all the plunder, both of man and of animal.
12They brought the captives with the prey and the plunder, 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.
13Moses and Eleazar the priest, with all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside of the camp.
14Moses 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.
15Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
18But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19“Encamp outside of the camp for 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.
20You shall purify every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.”
21Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses.
22However the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23everything 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. All that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
24You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. Afterward you shall come into the camp.”
25The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
26“Count the plunder that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;
27and divide the plunder into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28Levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
29Take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’s wave offering.
30Of 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, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the LORD’s tabernacle.”
31Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
36The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep;
37and the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
38The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the LORD’s tribute was seventy-two.
39The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the LORD’s tribute was sixty-one.
40The persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD’s tribute was thirty-two persons.
41Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42Of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men who fought
43(now the congregation’s half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
45thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46and sixteen thousand persons),
47even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the LORD’s tabernacle, as the LORD commanded Moses.
48The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses.
49They said to Moses, “Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
50We have brought the LORD’s offering, what every man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.”
51Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
52All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
53The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.
54Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
