Números 31 - Bíblia Online

Disse Jeová a Moisés: 
Vinga os filhos de Israel dos midianitas; depois serás recolhido ao teu povo. 
Então disse Moisés ao povo: Armai homens dentre vós para a guerra, a fim de que saiam contra Midiã, para executarem a vingança de Jeová contra eles. 
Enviareis à guerra mil homens de cada tribo entre todas as tribos de Israel. 
Assim dos milhares de Israel foram entregues mil homens de cada tribo, doze mil armados para a guerra. 
Moisés os enviou à guerra, mil de cada tribo, com Finéias, filho do sacerdote Eleazar, o qual tinha na mão os objetos sagrados e as trombetas para tocar alarme. 
Pelejaram contra Midiã, como Jeová ordenou a Moisés; e mataram todos os homens. 
Com os que foram mortos deles mataram também aos reis de Midiã: a saber, Evi, Requém, Zur, Hur e Reba, cinco reis de Midiã; mataram com a espada igualmente a Balaão, filho de Beor. 
Os filhos de Israel levaram cativas as mulheres de Midiã com os seus pequeninos; e despojaram-nos de todos os seus gados, de todos os seus rebanhos e de todos os seus bens. 
Queimaram-lhes a fogo todas as cidades, em que habitavam, e todos os acampamentos. 
Levaram todo o despojo e toda a presa, tanto de homens como de animais. 
Trouxeram os cativos e a presa e o despojo a Moisés e ao sacerdote Eleazar e à congregação dos filhos de Israel, ao arraial nas planícies de Moabe, que estão junto ao Jordão, na altura de Jericó. 
Saíram a recebê-los fora do arraial Moisés, e o sacerdote Eleazar, e todos os príncipes da congregação. 
Indignou-se Moisés contra os oficiais do exército, capitães dos milhares e capitães das centenas, que vinham do serviço da guerra. 
Disse-lhes Moisés: Deixastes viver todas as mulheres? 
Eis que estas, por conselho de Balaão, fizeram que os filhos de Israel pecassem contra Jeová no negócio de Peor, e assim houve a praga entre a congregação de Jeová. 
Agora matai a todos os machos entre os pequeninos, e matai as mulheres que conheceram homem, deitando-se com ele. 
Porém as meninas que não conheceram homem, deitando-se com ele, deixai-as viver para vós. 
Acampai-vos fora do arraial por sete dias; quem de vós tiver matado alguma pessoa, e quem tiver tocado em algum morto, ao terceiro dia e ao sétimo dia purificai-vos a vós e aos vossos cativos. 
No tocante a todo o vestido, e a tudo o que se faz de peles, e a toda a obra de pêlos de cabras, e a tudo o que se faz de madeira, vos purificareis a vós mesmos. 
Então Eleazar, o sacerdote, disse aos homens de guerra que foram à peleja: Este é o estatuto da lei que Jeová ordenou a Moisés: 
o ouro, a prata, o cobre, o ferro, o estanho e o chumbo, 
tudo o que pode resistir ao fogo, fá-lo-eis passar pelo fogo, e ficará limpo, todavia será purificado com a água de purificação; e tudo o que não pode resistir o fogo, fá-lo-eis passar pela água. 
Lavareis os vossos vestidos ao sétimo dia, e estareis limpos, e depois entrareis no arraial. 
Disse Jeová a Moisés: 
Tira a soma da presa que foi tomada, tanto de homens como de animais, tu, e o sacerdote Eleazar, e os cabeças das casas dos pais da congregação. 
Divide a presa em duas partes iguais, entre os homens versados na guerra, que saíram à peleja, e toda a congregação; 
toma um tributo para Jeová dos homens de guerra, que saíram à peleja; um em quinhentos, assim dos homens, como dos bois, e dos jumentos e dos rebanhos. 
Toma-o da sua metade, e dá-o ao sacerdote Eleazar para a oferta alçada a Jeová. 
Da metade que pertence aos filhos de Israel, tomarás um de cada cinqüenta, dos homens, dos bois, dos jumentos, dos rebanhos, e de todo o gado, e dá-los-ás aos levitas, que cumprem o serviço que é devido ao tabernáculo de Jeová. 
Fizeram Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, como Jeová ordenou a Moisés. 
Ora foi a presa que restava do despojo que tomaram os homens de guerra, seiscentas e setenta e cinco mil ovelhas, 
setenta e dois mil bois, 
sessenta e um mil jumentos, 
e trinta e duas mil pessoas ao todo, das mulheres que não tinham conhecido homem, deitando-se com ele. 
A metade, que era a porção dos que saíram à guerra, foi em número de trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas; 
das ovelhas foi o tributo para Jeová seiscentas e setenta e cinco. 
Os bois foram trinta e seis mil, dos quais foi o tributo para Jeová setenta e dois. 
Os jumentos foram trinta mil e quinhentos, dos quais foi o tributo para Jeová sessenta e um. 
As pessoas foram dezesseis mil, das quais foi o tributo para Jeová trinta e duas pessoas. 
Então Moisés deu o tributo, que era a oferta alçada para Jeová, ao sacerdote Eleazar, como Jeová ordenou a Moisés. 
Da metade que era dos filhos de Israel, separado por Moisés da dos homens que pelejaram 
(ora foi a metade que era da congregação, trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas, 
trinta e seis mil bois, 
trinta mil e quinhentos jumentos, 
e dezesseis mil pessoas); 
sim da metade que era dos filhos de Israel, tomou Moisés um de cada cinqüenta, tanto dos homens como dos animais, e deu-os aos levitas que cumprem o serviço que é devido ao tabernáculo de Jeová; como Jeová ordenou a Moisés. 
Então chegaram-se a Moisés os oficiais que estavam sobre os milhares do exército, os capitães de mil, e os capitães de cem; 
e disseram-lhe: Teus servos tiraram a soma dos homens de guerra que estiveram debaixo da nossa autoridade; e não falta nenhum de nós. 
Pelo que trouxemos a oblação de Jeová, o que cada um achou, de objetos de ouro, ornamentos para o braço, braceletes, anéis, arrecadas e colares, para fazermos expiação por nós mesmos diante de Jeová. 
Moisés e o sacerdote Eleazar receberam deles o ouro, a saber, os objetos feitos de ouro. 
Foi todo o ouro da oferta alçada que os capitães de mil e os capitães de cem ofereceram a Jeová, dezesseis mil e setecentos e cinqüenta siclos. 
(Pois os homens de guerra haviam tomado despojo, cada um para si). 
Moisés e o sacerdote Eleazar receberam o ouro dos capitães de mil e dos capitães de cem, e meteram-no na tenda da revelação para memorial dos filhos de Israel diante de Jeová. 

Then the Lord said to Moses, 
Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people. 
So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them. 
From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war. 
So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war. 
And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war. 
And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male. 
They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword. 
The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves; 
And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles, 
They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast. 
And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 
Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle. 
And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war. 
And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe? 
It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord. 
So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man. 
But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves. 
You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean. 
And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean. 
Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses: 
But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead, 
And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water. 
And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle. 
And the Lord said to Moses, 
Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people: 
And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people: 
And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep: 
Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord. 
And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord. 
So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses. 
Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep, 
And seventy-two thousand oxen, 
And sixty-one thousand asses; 
And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man. 
And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep, 
Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five. 
The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two; 
The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one. 
And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons. 
And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses. 
And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men, 
(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep, 
And thirty-six thousand oxen, 
And thirty thousand, five hundred asses, 
And sixteen thousand persons;) 
Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses. 
Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses, 
And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present; 
And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord. 
So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments. 
And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels. 
(For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.) 
Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.
