The Lord said to Moses,
"Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites.
After that, you will be gathered to your people."
So Moses said to the people,
"Arm some of your men
to go to war against the Midianites
and to carry out the Lord's vengeance on them.
Send into battle
a thousand men for each of the tribes of Israel."
So twelve thousand men armed for battle,
a thousand from each tribe,
were supplied from the clans of Israel.
Moses sent them into battle,
a thousand from each tribe,
along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest,
who took with him articles from the sanctuary
and the trumpets for signaling.
(Numbers 31:1-6)
