1Hashem spoke to Moshe, saying,

3Moshe spoke to the people, saying, “Let men be picked out from among you for a campaign, and let them fall upon Midian to wreak Hashem's vengeance on Midian.

5So a thousand from each tribe were furnished from the divisions of Yisrael, twelve thousand picked for the campaign.

6Moshe dispatched them on the campaign, a thousand from each tribe, with Pinchas son of Elazar serving as a Kohen on the campaign, equipped with the sacred utensils and the trumpets for sounding the blasts.

8Along with their other victims, they slew the kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also put Balaam son of Beor to the sword.

9The Israelites took the women and children of the Midianites captive, and seized as booty all their beasts, all their herds, and all their wealth.

12and they brought the captives, the booty, and the spoil to Moshe, Elazar the Kohen, and the whole Israelite community, at the camp in the steppes of Moab, at the Yarden near Yericho.

14Moshe became angry with the commanders of the army, the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds, who had come back from the military campaign.

48The commanders of the troop divisions, the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds, approached Moshe.

49They said to Moshe, “Your servants have made a check of the warriors in our charge, and not one of us is missing.

50So we have brought as an offering to Hashem such articles of gold as each of us came upon: armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and pendants, that expiation may be made for our persons before Hashem.”

51Moshe and Elazar the Kohen accepted the gold from them, all kinds of wrought articles.

52All the gold that was offered by the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds as a contribution to Hashem came to 16,750 shekalim.

54So Moshe and Elazar the Kohen accepted the gold from the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds and brought it to the Tent of Meeting, as a reminder in behalf of the Israelites before Hashem.
