⁷ They waged war against the Midianites, as the Lord had commanded Moses, and killed every male.

⁹ But the Israelites took captive the women of the Midianites with their children, and all their herds and flocks and wealth as loot,

¹¹ Then they took all the plunder, with the people and animals they had captured, and brought the captives, together with the spoils and plunder,

⁸ he said, “Now that you are returning to your own tents with great wealth, with abundant livestock, with silver, gold, bronze and iron, and with a very large supply of clothing, divide these spoils of your enemies with your allies there.”^(A)
