Numbers 31:13 - 31:54

31:13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went out to meet them outside the camp.
31:14 But Moses was angry toward the leaders of the troops, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, who came from the battle of the war.
31:15 And Moses said to them, “You have kept alive every female?
31:16 Behold, these women caused the Israelites, by the word of Balaam, to be in apostasy against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so that the plague was among the community of Yahweh.
31:17 Now kill every male among the little children, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man.
31:18 But all the females who have not had sexual intercourse with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And you, camp outside the camp seven days; all who killed a person and all who touched the slain purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
31:20 You will purify yourselves and every garment and every object of hide and all the work of goats’ hair, and every object of wood.”
31:21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of the battle who came from the war, “This is the decree of the law that Yahweh commanded Moses.
31:22 Only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead—
31:23 everything that will go through the fire—you will pass through the fire, and it will be clean, and only in waters of impurity will it be purified. Whatever does not go into the fire you will pass through the waters.
31:24 And you will wash your garments on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp.”
31:25 Division of the War-Booty Yahweh said to Moses, saying,
31:26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the families of the community, take count of the war-booty that was captured, both humans and the domestic animals;
31:27 divide the war-booty between those who engaged in the war, who went out to the battle, and all the community.
31:28 Exact a tribute for Yahweh from the men of the war, those who went out to the battle, one from five hundred persons, and from the cattle and from the male donkeys and from the flock;
31:29 take from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to Yahweh.
31:30 From half of the Israelites, take one share drawn by lot from the fifty from the humans, from the cattle, from the male donkeys, from the flock, from all the domestic animals, and give them to the Levities who keep the responsibilities of the tabernacle of Yahweh.”
31:31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
31:32 Thus the war-booty that remained of the plunder that the people of the battle plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand flocks of sheep,
31:33 seventy-two thousand cattle,
31:34 sixty-one thousand male donkeys,
31:35 and the life of humankind, from the women who did not have sexual intercourse with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
31:36 The half of the share that was going out to the battle: the number of the flock of sheep was thee hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred;
31:37 the tribute to Yahweh from the flock was six hundred and seventy-five;
31:38 and the cattle were thirty-six thousand; and the tribute to Yahweh was seventy-two.
31:39 Of the male donkeys there were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute to Yahweh was sixty-one;
31:40 the humans were sixteen thousand, and the tribute to Yahweh was thirty-two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave away the tribute of the contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
31:42 From the half of the Israelites, which Moses divided from the men who were fighting,
31:43 the half that belonged to the community was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred from the flock,
31:44 and thirty-six thousand cattle,
31:45 and thirty thousand five hundred male donkeys,
31:46 and sixteen thousand humans.
31:47 From the half that belonged to the Israelites, Moses took one share drawn by lot out of every fifty humans and domestic animals, and he gave them to the Levites, who keep the responsibility of the tabernacle of Yahweh, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
31:48 Then the leaders of the thousands of the army, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, approached Moses,
31:49 and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken count of the men of war who were in our charge, and no man is missing from us.
31:50 So we brought the offering of Yahweh, what each man found, objects of gold, bangles, bracelets, rings, earrings, and female ornaments, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
31:51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all objects of work.
31:52 All the gold of the contribution that they raised up to Yahweh, from the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
31:53 The men of battle plundered each for himself.
31:54 So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of the thousands and hundreds, and they brought it to the tent of the assembly as a memorial for the Israelites before Yahweh.

LEB translation

Luke 23:26-43

23:26 Jesus Is Crucified And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain man of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and placed the cross on him, to carry it behind Jesus.
23:27 And a great crowd of the people were following him, and of women who were mourning and lamenting him.
23:28 But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children!
23:29 For behold, days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not give birth, and the breasts that did not nurse!’
23:30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
23:31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
23:32 And two other criminals were also led away to be executed with him.
23:33 And when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” there they crucified him, and the criminals, the one on his right and the other on his left.
23:34 [[But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”]] And they cast lots to divide his clothes.
23:35 And the people stood there watching, but the rulers also ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if this man is the Christ of God, the Chosen One!”
23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine
23:37 and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”
23:38 And there was also an inscription over him, “This is the king of the Jews.”
23:39 And one of the criminals who were hanged there reviled him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself—and us!”
23:40 But the other answered and rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, because you are undergoing the same condemnation?
23:41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for what we have done. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
23:42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!”
23:43 And he said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
