Numbers 31:1

Verse 1 of 54. The 31st of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

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.
