Numbers 31:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 31:7

5 So there were recruited from the divisions of Israel one thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

6 Then Moses sent them to the war, one thousand from each tribe; he sent them to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy articles and ^athe signal trumpets in his hand.

7 And they warred against the Midianites, just as the Lord commanded Moses, and ^athey killed all the ^bmales.

8 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of those who were killed—^aEvi, Rekem, ^bZur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. ^cBalaam the son of Beor they also killed with the sword.

9 And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captive, with their little ones, and took as spoil all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods.

10 They also burned with fire all the cities where they dwelt, and all their forts.

11 And ^athey took all the spoil and all the booty—of man and beast.
