Vengeance on Midian

Afterward you shall bbe gathered to your people.” 3So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord’s vengeance on Midian. 4You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war.” 5So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand carmed for war. 6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, together with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the vessels of the sanctuary and dthe trumpets for the alarm in his hand. 7They warred against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and ekilled every male. 8They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain, fEvi, Rekem, gZur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. And they also killed hBalaam the son of Beor with the sword. 9And the people of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, and they took as plunder all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. 10All their cities in the places where they lived, and all their iencampments, they burned with fire, 11 jand took all the spoil and all the plunder, both of man and of beast. 12Then they brought the captives and the plunder and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on kthe plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and othe priests shall blow the trumpets. 5And when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat,
