1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shall you be gathered unto your people.
3 And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall you send to the war.
