1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
1 Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés, diciendo:
2 Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards thou shalt be added to thy people.
2 Haz la venganza de los hijos de Israel sobre los Madianitas; después serás recogido á tus pueblos.
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.
3 Entonces Moisés habló al pueblo, diciendo: Armaos algunos de vosotros para la guerra, é irán contra Madián, y harán la venganza de Jehová en Madián.
4 Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
4 Mil de cada tribu de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel, enviaréis á la guerra.
5 And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.
5 Así fueron dados de los millares de Israel, mil por cada tribu, doce mil á punto de guerra.
6 And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
6 Y Moisés los envió á la guerra: mil de cada tribu envió: y Phinees, hijo de Eleazar sacerdote, [fué] á la guerra con los santos instrumentos, con las trompetas en su mano para tocar.
7 And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
7 Y pelearon contra Madián, como Jehová lo mandó á Moisés, y mataron á todo varón.
8 And they slew the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they slew with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
8 Mataron también, entre los muertos de ellos, á los reyes de Madián: Evi, y Recem, y Zur, y Hur, y Reba, cinco reyes de Madián: á Balaam también, hijo de Beor, mataron á cuchillo.
9 And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
9 Y llevaron cautivas los hijos de Israel las mujeres de los Madianitas, y sus chiquitos y todas sus bestias, y todos sus ganados; y arrebataron toda su hacienda.
10 And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation, and they burnt their villages with fire.
10 Y abrasaron con fuego todas sus ciudades, aldeas y castillos.
11 And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
11 Y tomaron todo el despojo, y toda la presa, así de hombres como de bestias.
12 And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
12 Y trajeron á Moisés, y á Eleazar el sacerdote, y á la congregación de los hijos de Israel, los cautivos y la presa y los despojos, al campo en los llanos de Moab, que están junto al Jordán de Jericó.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.
13 Y salieron Moisés y Eleazar el sacerdote, y todos los príncipes de la congregación, á recibirlos fuera del campo.
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
14 Y enojóse Moisés contra los capitanes del ejército, [contra] los tribunos y centuriones que volvían de la guerra;
15 And Moses said to them, Why have ye saved every female alive?
15 Y díjoles Moisés: ¿Todas las mujeres habéis reservado?
16 For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
16 He aquí ellas fueron á los hijos de Israel, por consejo de Balaam, para causar prevaricación contra Jehová en el negocio de Peor; por lo que hubo mortandad en la congregación de Jehová.
17 Now then slay every male in all the spoil, slay every woman, who has known the lying with man.
17 Matad pues ahora todos los varones entre los niños: matad también toda mujer que haya conocido varón carnalmente.
18 And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save ye them alive.
18 Y todas las niñas entre las mujeres, que no hayan conocido ayuntamiento de varón, os reservaréis vivas.
19 And ye shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and ye and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
19 Y vosotros quedaos fuera del campo siete días: y todos los que hubieren matado persona, y cualquiera que hubiere tocado muerto, os purificaréis al tercero y al séptimo día, vosotros y vuestros cautivos.
20 And ye shall purify every garment and every leathern utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
20 Asimismo purificaréis todo vestido, y toda prenda de pieles, y toda obra de pelos de cabra, y todo vaso de madera.
21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
21 Y Eleazar el sacerdote dijo á los hombres de guerra que venían de la guerra: Esta es la ordenanza de la ley que Jehová ha mandado á Moisés:
22 Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
22 Ciertamente el oro, y la plata, metal, hierro, estaño, y plomo,
23 every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatsoever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
23 Todo lo que resiste el fuego, por fuego [lo] haréis pasar, y será limpio, bien que en las aguas de purificación habrá de purificarse: mas haréis pasar por agua todo lo que no aguanta el fuego.
24 And on the seventh day ye shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards ye shall come into the camp.
24 Además lavaréis vuestros vestidos el séptimo día, y así seréis limpios; y después entraréis en el campo.
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
25 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
26 Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
26 Toma la cuenta de la presa que se ha hecho, así de las personas como de las bestias, tú y el sacerdote Eleazar, y las cabezas de los padres de la congregación:
27 And ye shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
27 Y partirás por mitad la presa entre los que pelearon, los que salieron á la guerra, y toda la congregación.
28 And ye shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and ye shall take from their half.
28 Y apartarás para Jehová el tributo de los hombres de guerra, que salieron á la guerra: de quinientos uno, así de las personas como de los bueyes, de los asnos, y de las ovejas:
29 And thou shalt give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first-fruits of the Lord.
29 De la mitad de ellos lo tomarás; y darás á Eleazar el sacerdote la ofrenda de Jehová.
30 And from the half belonging to the children of Israel thou shalt take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and thou shalt give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
30 Y de la mitad perteneciente á los hijos de Israel tomarás uno de cincuenta, de las personas, de los bueyes, de los asnos, y de las ovejas, de todo animal; y los darás á los Levitas, que tienen la guarda del tabernáculo de Jehová.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
31 E hicieron Moisés y Eleazar el sacerdote como Jehová mandó á Moisés.
32 And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:
32 Y fué la presa, el resto de la presa que tomaron los hombres de guerra, seiscientas y setenta y cinco mil ovejas,
33 and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
33 Y setenta y dos mil bueyes,
34 and asses, sixty-one thousand.
34 Y setenta y un mil asnos;
35 And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.
35 Y en cuanto á personas, de mujeres que no habían conocido ayuntamiento de varón, en todas treinta y dos mil.
36 And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
36 Y la mitad, la parte de los que habían salido á la guerra, fué el número de trescientas treinta y siete mil y quinientas ovejas.
37 And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
37 Y el tributo para Jehová de las ovejas, fué seiscientas setenta y cinco.
38 And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord, seventy-two.
38 Y de los bueyes, treinta y seis mil: y de ellos el tributo para Jehová, setenta y dos.
39 And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:
39 Y de los asnos, treinta mil y quinientos: y de ellos el tributo para Jehová, setenta y uno.
40 and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
40 Y de las personas, diez y seis mil: y de ellas el tributo para Jehová, treinta y dos personas.
41 And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;
41 Y dió Moisés el tributo, por elevada ofrenda á Jehová, á Eleazar el sacerdote, como Jehová lo mandó á Moisés.
42 from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
42 Y de la mitad para los hijos de Israel, que apartó Moisés de los hombres que habían ido á la guerra;
43 And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
43 (La mitad para la congregación fué: de las ovejas, trescientas treinta y siete mil y quinientas;
44 And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
44 Y de los bueyes, treinta y seis mil;
45 asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
45 Y de los asnos, treinta mil y quinientos;
46 and persons, sixteen thousand.
46 Y de las personas, diez y seis mil:)
47 And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fiftieth part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
47 De la mitad, pues, para los hijos de Israel tomó Moisés uno de cada cincuenta, así de las personas como de los animales, y diólos á los Levitas, que tenían la guarda del tabernáculo de Jehová; como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.
48 And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
48 Y llegaron á Moisés los jefes de los millares de aquel ejército, los tribunos y centuriones;
49 Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
49 Y dijeron á Moisés: Tus siervos han tomado razón de los hombres de guerra que están en nuestro poder, y ninguno ha faltado de nosotros.
50 And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
50 Por lo cual hemos ofrecido á Jehová ofrenda, cada uno de lo que ha hallado, vasos de oro, brazaletes, manillas, anillos, zarcillos, y cadenas, para hacer expiación por nuestras almas delante de Jehová.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
51 Y Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar recibieron el oro de ellos, alhajas, todas elaboradas.
52 And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
52 Y todo el oro de la ofrenda que ofrecieron á Jehová de los tribunos y centuriones, fué diez y seis mil setecientos y cincuenta siclos.
53 For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
53 Los hombres del ejército habían pillado cada uno para sí.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
54 Recibieron, pues, Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar, el oro de los tribunos y centuriones, y trajéronlo al tabernáculo del testimonio, por memoria de los hijos de Israel delante de Jehová.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
You have a plain passage in Genesis, when Eve herself was first made, "He made her a woman." Scripture also in another place saith, that God ordered "the women" to be separated "which had not known man by lying with him." This then ought now to be well established, and should not detain us, that so we may be able …
