Numbers 31
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
1ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
2'Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.'
2ἐκδίκει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῶν Μαδιανιτῶν, καὶ ἔσχατον προστεθήσῃ πρὸς τὸν λαόν σου.
3And Moses spoke unto the people, saying: 'Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD'S vengeance on Midian.
3καὶ ἐλάλησε Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων· ἐξοπλίσατε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας καὶ παρατάξασθε ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐπὶ Μαδιὰν ἀποδοῦναι ἐκδίκησιν παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου τῇ Μαδιάν·
4Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.'
4χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἀποστείλατε παρατάξασθαι.
5So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
5καὶ ἐξηρίθμησαν ἐκ τῶν χιλιάδων Ἰσραὴλ χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἐνωπλισμένοι εἰς παράταξιν.
6And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
6καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸν Ἐλεάζαρ υἱοῦ Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες τῶν σημασιῶν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν.
7And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
7καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐπὶ Μαδιάν, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος Μωυσῇ, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν·
8And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
8καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς Μαδιὰν ἀπέκτειναν ἅμα τοῖς τραυματίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν Εὐὶν καὶ τὸν Ροκὸν καὶ τὸν Σοὺρ καὶ τὸν Οὒρ καὶ τὸν Ροβόκ, πέντε βασιλεῖς Μαδιάν· καὶ τὸν Βαλαὰμ υἱὸν Βεὼρ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ σὺν τοῖς τραυματίαις αὐτῶν.
9And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
9καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν τὰς γυναῖκας Μαδιὰν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔγκτητα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῶν ἐπρονόμευσαν·
10And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
10καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν τὰς ἐν ταῖς κατοικίαις αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς ἐπαύλεις αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί.
11And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
11καὶ ἔλαβον πᾶσαν τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους
12And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
12καὶ ἤγαγον πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ πρὸς Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα καὶ τὴν προνομὴν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν εἰς Ἀραβὼθ Μωάβ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ Ἱεριχώ.
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
13Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
14καὶ ὠργίσθη Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς δυνάμεως, χιλιάρχοις καὶ ἑκατοντάρχοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τοῦ πολέμου,
15And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive?
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς· ἱνατί ἐζωγρήσατε πᾶν θῆλυ;
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to revolt so as to break faith with the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
16αὗται γὰρ ἦσαν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Βαλαὰμ τοῦ ἀποστῆσαι καὶ ὑπεριδεῖν τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου ἕνεκεν Φογώρ, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ πληγὴ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ Κυρίου.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
17καὶ νῦν ἀποκτείνατε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀπαρτίᾳ, πᾶσαν γυναῖκα, ἥτις ἔγνω κοίτην ἄρσενος, ἀποκτείνατε·
18But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
18καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀπαρτίαν τῶν γυναικῶν, ἥτις οὐκ οἶδε κοίτην ἄρσενος, ζωγρήσατε αὐτάς.
19And encamp ye without the camp seven days; whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
19καὶ ὑμεῖς παρεμβάλετε ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας· πᾶς ὁ ἀνελὼν καὶ ὁ ἁπτόμενος τοῦ τετρωμένου ἁγνισθήσεται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ὑμεῖς καὶ ἡ αἰχμαλωσία ὑμῶν·
20And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify.'
20καὶ πᾶν περίβλημα καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον καὶ πᾶσαν ἐργασίαν ἐξ αἰγείας καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ξύλινον ἀφαγνιεῖτε.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle: 'This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
21καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς δυνάμεως τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τοῦ πολέμου· τοῦτο τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου, ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
22Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
22πλὴν τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μολίβου καὶ κασσιτέρου,
23every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
23πᾶν πρᾶγμα, ὃ διελεύσεται ἐν πυρί, καὶ καθαρισθήσεται, ἀλλ' ἢ τῷ ὕδατι τοῦ ἁγνισμοῦ ἁγνισθήσεται· καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν μὴ διαπορεύηται διὰ πυρός, διελεύσεται δι' ὕδατος.
24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye may come into the camp.'
24καὶ πλυνεῖσθε τὰ ἱμάτια τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ καθαρισθήσεσθε καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.
25And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
25Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
26'Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
26λάβε τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν σκύλων τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, σὺ καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν τῆς συναγωγῆς,
27and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation;
27καὶ διελεῖτε τὰ σκῦλα ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὴν παράταξιν, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον πάσης συναγωγῆς.
28and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks;
28καὶ ἀφελεῖτε τέλος Κυρίῳ παρὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὴν παράταξιν μίαν ψυχὴν ἀπὸ πεντακοσίων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὄνων·
29take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, as a portion set apart for the LORD.
29καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους αὐτῶν λήψεσθε καὶ δώσεις Ἐλεάζαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς Κυρίου.
30And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.'
30καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ λήψῃ ἕνα ἀπὸ πεντήκοντα ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὄνων καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ δώσεις αὐτὰ τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὰς φυλακὰς ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ Κυρίου.
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
31καὶ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
32Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
32καὶ ἐγενήθη τὸ πλεόνασμα τῆς προνομῆς, ὃ προενόμευσαν οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων, ἑξακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες
33and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
33καὶ βόες δύο καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες
34and threescore and one thousand asses,
34καὶ ὄνοι μία καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάδες
35and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
35καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν, αἳ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν κοίτην ἀνδρός, πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ δύο καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες.
36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep.
36καὶ ἐγενήθη τὸ ἡμίσευμα ἡ μερὶς τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὸν πόλεμον ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν προβάτων τριακόσιαι καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια καὶ πεντακόσια.
37And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
37καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων ἑξακόσιαι ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε·
38And the beeves were thirty and six thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
38καὶ βόες ἓξ καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες, καὶ τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ δύο καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα·
39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
39καὶ ὄνοι τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ πεντακόσιοι, καὶ τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ εἷς καὶ ἑξήκοντα·
40And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
40καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἑκκαίδεκα χιλιάδες, καὶ τὸ τέλος αὐτῶν Κυρίῳ δύο καὶ τριάκοντα ψυχαί.
41And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
41καὶ ἔδωκε Μωυσῆς τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ τὸ ἀφαίρεμα τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἐλεάζαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred —
42ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμισεύματος τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, οὓς διεῖλε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν.
43now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
43καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ἡμίσευμα ἀπὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων τριακόσιαι καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια καὶ πεντακόσια
44and thirty and six thousand beeves,
44καὶ βόες ἓξ καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες,
45and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
45ὄνοι τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ πεντακόσιοι
46and sixteen thousand persons —
46καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἓξ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες.
47even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
47καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμισεύματος τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ἓν ἀπὸ τῶν πεντήκοντα, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὰς φυλακὰς τῆς σκηνῆς Κυρίου, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
48And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;
48Καὶ προσῆλθον πρὸς Μωυσῆν πάντες οἱ καθεσταμένοι εἰς τὰς χιλιαρχίας τῆς δυνάμεως, χιλίαρχοι καὶ ἑκατόνταρχοι, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Μωυσῆν·
49and they said unto Moses: 'Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
49οἱ παῖδές σου εἰλήφασι τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν παρ' ἡμῖν, καὶ οὐ διαπεφώνηκεν ἀπ' αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς·
50And we have brought the LORD'S offering, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and girdles, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.'
50καὶ προσενηνόχαμεν τὸ δῶρον Κυρίῳ, ἀνὴρ ὃ εὗρε σκεῦος χρυσοῦν καὶ χλιδῶνα καὶ ψέλλιον καὶ δακτύλιον καὶ περιδέξιον καὶ ἐμπλόκιον, ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ ἡμῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
51καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ χρυσίον παρ' αὐτῶν πᾶν σκεῦος εἰργασμένον·
52And all the gold of the gift that they set apart for the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. —
52καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον τὸ ἀφαίρεμα, ὃ ἀφεῖλον Κυρίῳ, ἑκκαίδεκα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα σίκλοι παρὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων.
53For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. —
53καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν ἕκαστος ἑαυτῷ.
54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
54καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ χρυσίον παρὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, μνημόσυνον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι Κυρίου.
