Numbers 31 · Grade 3
A Memorial Before Yahweh
Read the Story
God told Moses to bring judgment on the Midianites, who had led Israel into sin at Peor. Moses sent one thousand men from every tribe. Phinehas the priest went with them, with the trumpets.
When the soldiers came back, they stayed outside the camp seven days. They washed their clothes and were made clean. Then they could come home to the camp.
The officers counted their men. There lacks not one man of us, they said. They brought gold ornaments, bracelets, rings, and necklaces as Yahweh's offering. Moses and Eleazar brought the gold into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial.
