Numbers 31:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. THE Lord said to Moses,

2. Avenge the Israelites on the Midianites; afterward you shall be gathered to your [departed] people.

3. And Moses said to the people, Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian and execute the Lord's vengeance on Midian [for seducing Israel]. [Num. 25:16-18.]

4. From each of the tribes of Israel you shall send 1,000 to the war.

5. So there were provided out of the thousands of Israel 1,000 from each tribe, 12,000 armed for war.
