Spirit [1 Cor.14:12] ) of the spirits

�17: Which may go out before them, and which may
go in before them (Fig., put

as sheep which have no shepherd.�
�18: And the Lord (Yehovah) said to Moses, �Take you Joshua the son of Nun (=savior, or whose help is
Yehovah, see Ex.17:9), a man in whom is the
spirit (Fig., put here for the
gifts of the Holy Spirit: here a spirit of "wisdom"
[Deut.34:9]), and lay your hand upon him;
�19: And set him before Eleazar the priest (because he had the breastplate with the Urim and the Thummim, and could alone give Joshua the decision
or "judgment" of Yehovah), and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
�20: And you shall put some of your honour upon him, that
all the congregation of the sons of Israel may be obedient.
�21: And take his stand before Eleazar the priest, who
shall ask judgment by him for the judgment of the
Urim before Yehovah (see
Ex.28:30): at his word shall they go out, and at the commanment (i.e. of the
Urim) they shall come in, both he, and all the
sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation.�
�22: And Moses did as the Lord (Yehovah) commanded him: and he took
Joshua, and apponted him before Eleazar the priest, and
before all the congregation:

the war, with the holy (set
apart) instruments, and the alarm
trumpets to blow in his hand (which were also prayer trumpets, cp.

�7: And they warred against the Midianites, as Yehovah
commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
�8: And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of
them that were slain; namely, Evi (Heb.=desirous), and Rekem (=variegated, marked withdifferent
colors), and Zur (=a
rock), and Hur (=to bore;
the crevice of a serpent; the cell of a prison), and Reba (=a fourth part, or
side), five kings of Midian (called princes or dukes of Sihon,
Josh.13:21): Balaam (=not
of the people, i.e. foreigner) also the son of
Beor they slew with the sword (Balaam thus did not "die the death of
righteousness", cp. 23:10).

captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all
their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.

all their cities wherein they dwelt (the same judgment is in store for spiritual

(Heb. malk�ah, first occ., always used of animated prey), both of mankind and of
beasts.

and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to
the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the
plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

Gen.14:7).
�14: And Moses was wroth with the officers of the
host (Moses meek in his own matters,
but not in Yehovah's. In these there was a 'godly
Jealosy"), with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle array of the war (or martial
host).
�15: And Moses said to them, �Have you all saved all the
women alive?
�16: Behold, these (cp.
25:2) caused the sons of Israel, through the
word of Balaam (or doctrine,
see Rev.2:14), to commit trespass (see Lev.5:15) against Yehovah in
the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the
congregation of the Lord (Yehovah).
�17: Now therefore kill every male among the little ones,
and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with a
male.
�18: But all the women children, that have not known a man
by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
�19: And you all abide outside the camp seven days:
whosoever has killed any person (Heb.
nephesh, soul), and whosoever has touched any
slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the
third day, and on the seventh day.
�20: And purify all your clothing, and all that is made of
skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of
wood.�
�21: And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war which
had come to the battle, �This is the ordinance of the law
which the Lord (Yehovah) commanded Moses;
�22: Only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the
iron (found in Egypt as early
as 2800 B.C.), the tin, and the lead (6 items, the number of man),
�23: Every thing that may abide the fire, you all shall
make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean:
nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of
separation (see Chapter
19): and all that abides not the fire you all
shall make go through the water.
�24: And you all shall wash your clothes on the seventh
day, and you all shall be clean, and afterward you all
shall come into the camp.�
�25: And the Lord (Yehovah) spoke to Moses, saying,
�26: �Take the sum of the booty that was taken, both of
mankind and of beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the
chief fathers of the congregation:
�27: And divide the booty into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
�28: And levy a tribute to the Lord (Yehovah) of the men of war which went out to battle (computed
value, assigned to Yehovah. Heb. mekes,occ. only in this
chapter): one soul of five hundred, both of
mankind, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the
sheep:
�29: Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar
the priest (an extra portion in
addition to Deut.18:1,2 and Num.18:19. So Abraam,
Gen.14:20), for a heave offering of the Lord (Yehovah).
�30: And of the sons of Israel's half, you shall take one
portion of fifty, of mankind, of the beeves, of the asses,
and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them
to the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle
(dwelling plave) of the Lord
(Yehovah).�
�31: And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord (Yehovah)
commanded Moses.
�32: And 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,
�33: And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
�34: And threescore and one thousand asses,
�35: And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman
that had not known man by lying with him.
�36: And 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:
�37: And the Lord's (Yehovah's) tribute of the sheep was six hundred
and threescore and fifteen.
�38: And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which
Yehovah's tribute was threescore and twelve.
�39: And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred;
of which the Lord's (Yehovah's) tribute was threescore and one.
�40: And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord's (Yehovah's) tribute was thirty and two persons.
�41: And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord's (Yehovah's) heave
offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord (Yehovah) commanded
Moses.
�42: And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
�43: {Now the half that pertained to thecongregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven
thousand and five hundred sheep,
�44: And thirty and six thousand beeves,
�45: And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
�46: And sixteen thousand persons;}
�47: Even of the sons of Israel's half, Moses took one
portion of fifty, both of mankind and of beast, and gave them to the Levites (see 1 Chron.9:2. Heb. n�than, to give. Hence their names "Nethinim"), which kept the charge of the dwelling place of the Lord (Yehovah); according as the Lord (Yehovah) commanded Moses.
�48: And the officers which were over thousands of the
host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds,
came near to Moses:
�49: And they said to Moses, �Your servants have taken the
sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us.
�50: We have therefore brought an oblation for Yehovah (this was voluntary.Te levy in v.25, &c., was commanded. See Lev.2:4),
what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and
bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an
atonement for our souls before the Lord (Yehovah).� (see Lev.29:33)
�51: And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of
them, even all wrought jewels (=instruments and vessels).
�52: And all the gold of the offering that they offered up
to the Lord (Yehovah), of the captains of thousands, and of the
captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred
and fifty shekels (aprox. 5,025 oz.).
�53: {For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.}
�54: And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the
captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into
the tent of the congregation, for a memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord (Yehovah).
