Malcom: Welcome to Immerse: the
Daily Bible reading Experience.

00:00:03.083 --> 00:00:04.493
Day 100 and 44

00:00:04.923 --> 00:00:08.403
then Moses summoned the leaders of
the tribes of Israel and told them

00:00:08.733 --> 00:00:10.473
This is what the Lord has commanded.

00:00:11.133 --> 00:00:16.413
A man who makes a vow to the Lord or makes
a pledge under oath must never break it.

00:00:16.863 --> 00:00:19.253
He must do exactly what
he said he would do.

00:00:20.433 --> 00:00:24.633
If a young woman makes a vow to the
Lord or a pledge under oath while she

00:00:24.633 --> 00:00:28.833
is still living at her father's home
and her father hears of the vow or

00:00:28.833 --> 00:00:33.603
pledge and does not object to it, then
all her vows and pledges will stand.

00:00:34.383 --> 00:00:38.043
But if her father refuses to let her
fulfill the vow or pledge on the day

00:00:38.073 --> 00:00:42.063
he hears of it, then all her vows
and pledges will become invalid.

00:00:42.513 --> 00:00:46.443
The Lord will forgive her because her
father would not let her fulfill them.

00:00:47.673 --> 00:00:51.723
Now suppose a young woman makes a vow
or binds herself with an impulsive

00:00:51.723 --> 00:00:57.033
pledge and later marries, if her husband
learns of her vow or pledge and does

00:00:57.033 --> 00:01:01.173
not object on the day he hears of
it, her vows and pledges will stand.

00:01:01.833 --> 00:01:05.943
But if her husband refuses to accept
her vow or impulsive pledge on the

00:01:05.943 --> 00:01:10.533
day he hears of it, he nullifies her
commitments and the Lord will forgive her.

00:01:11.208 --> 00:01:15.768
If however, a woman is a widow
or is divorced, she must fulfill

00:01:15.768 --> 00:01:17.388
all her vows and pledges.

00:01:18.798 --> 00:01:23.058
But suppose a woman is married and living
in her husband's home when she makes

00:01:23.058 --> 00:01:25.158
a vow or binds herself with a pledge.

00:01:25.698 --> 00:01:28.698
If her husband hears of it
and does not object to it,

00:01:28.968 --> 00:01:30.828
her vow or pledge will stand.

00:01:31.428 --> 00:01:35.568
But if her husband refuses to accept
it on the day he hears of it, her

00:01:35.568 --> 00:01:39.078
vow or pledge will be nullified
and the Lord will forgive her.

00:01:39.783 --> 00:01:44.883
So her husband may either confirm
or nullify any vows or pledges.

00:01:44.913 --> 00:01:49.263
She makes to deny herself, but if
he does not object on the day he

00:01:49.263 --> 00:01:53.313
hears of it, then he is agreeing
to all her vows and pledges.

00:01:53.703 --> 00:01:58.263
If he waits more than a day and then
tries to nullify a vow or pledge,

00:01:58.563 --> 00:02:00.933
he will be punished for her guilt.

00:02:02.058 --> 00:02:03.258
These are the regulations.

00:02:03.258 --> 00:02:06.978
The Lord gave Moses concerning
relationships between a man and his

00:02:06.978 --> 00:02:11.148
wife, and between a father and a young
daughter who still lives at home.

00:02:12.978 --> 00:02:18.348
Then the Lord said to Moses, on behalf of
the people of Israel, take revenge on the

00:02:18.348 --> 00:02:20.898
Midianites for leading them into idolatry.

00:02:21.378 --> 00:02:24.978
After that, you will die
and join your ancestors.

00:02:26.088 --> 00:02:30.528
So Moses said to the people, Choose
some men and arm them to fight the

00:02:30.528 --> 00:02:32.838
Lord's war of revenge against Midian.

00:02:33.678 --> 00:02:37.728
From each tribe of Israel,
send 1000 men into battle.

00:02:38.538 --> 00:02:42.408
So they chose 1000 men from
each tribe of Israel, a total

00:02:42.408 --> 00:02:44.718
of 12,000 men armed for battle.

00:02:45.468 --> 00:02:51.138
Then Moses sent them out, 1000 men from
each tribe and Phineas, son of LEAs,

00:02:51.138 --> 00:02:53.148
or the priest, led them into battle.

00:02:53.958 --> 00:02:57.018
They carried along the holy
objects of the sanctuary and the

00:02:57.018 --> 00:02:58.968
trumpets for sounding the charge.

00:02:59.568 --> 00:03:03.228
They attacked Midian as the Lord
had commanded Moses, and they

00:03:03.228 --> 00:03:10.728
killed all the men, all five of the
Midianite kings, Evie Recu Zu, who

00:03:10.728 --> 00:03:13.278
were and Reba died in the battle.

00:03:13.968 --> 00:03:17.238
They also killed Balaam
son of bor with the sword.

00:03:18.318 --> 00:03:21.978
Then the Israelite army captured
the Midianite women and children,

00:03:22.338 --> 00:03:26.208
and seized their cattle and flocks
and all their wealth as plunder.

00:03:26.898 --> 00:03:30.198
They burned all the towns and villages
where the Midianites had lived.

00:03:30.978 --> 00:03:35.388
After they had gathered the plunder
and captives both people and animals,

00:03:35.748 --> 00:03:39.768
they brought them all to Moses and
Eliezer, the priest, and to the whole

00:03:39.768 --> 00:03:43.908
community of Israel, which was camped
on the plains of Moab beside the

00:03:43.908 --> 00:03:46.098
Jordan River, across from Jericho.

00:03:47.268 --> 00:03:51.528
Moses Eliezer, the priest and all
the leaders of the community went

00:03:51.528 --> 00:03:52.938
to meet them outside the camp.

00:03:53.628 --> 00:03:56.898
But Moses was furious with all
the generals and captains who

00:03:56.898 --> 00:03:58.188
had returned from the battle.

00:03:59.088 --> 00:04:01.368
Why have you let all the women live?

00:04:01.488 --> 00:04:02.238
He demanded?

00:04:02.748 --> 00:04:07.068
These are the very ones who followed
Balaam's advice and cause the people

00:04:07.068 --> 00:04:09.078
of Israel to rebel against the Lord.

00:04:09.078 --> 00:04:14.118
At Mount Peor, they are the ones who cause
the plague to strike the Lord's people.

00:04:14.703 --> 00:04:18.993
So kill all the boys and all the women
who have had intercourse with a man.

00:04:19.563 --> 00:04:22.083
Only the young girls who
are virgins may live.

00:04:22.323 --> 00:04:26.793
You may keep them for yourselves,
and all of you who have killed anyone

00:04:27.003 --> 00:04:31.083
or touched a dead body must stay
outside the camp for seven days.

00:04:31.683 --> 00:04:36.363
You must purify yourselves and your
captives on the third and seventh days.

00:04:36.903 --> 00:04:39.963
Purify all your clothing
too, and everything made of

00:04:39.968 --> 00:04:42.123
leather, goat, hair, or wood.

00:04:43.278 --> 00:04:47.388
Then LEAs of the priest said to the
men who were in the battle, the Lord

00:04:47.388 --> 00:04:49.788
has given Moses this legal requirement.

00:04:50.328 --> 00:04:55.578
Anything made of gold, silver,
bronze, iron, tin, or lead.

00:04:55.998 --> 00:05:00.468
That is all metals that do not
burn must be passed through fire.

00:05:00.588 --> 00:05:05.688
In order to be made ceremonially pure,
these metal objects must then be further

00:05:05.688 --> 00:05:08.628
purified with the water of purification.

00:05:09.168 --> 00:05:12.948
But everything that burns must
be purified by the water alone.

00:05:13.548 --> 00:05:17.268
On the seventh day, you must wash
your clothes and be purified.

00:05:17.748 --> 00:05:19.728
Then you may return to the camp.

00:05:21.348 --> 00:05:26.178
And the Lord said to Moses, you and LEAs
are the priest and the family leaders

00:05:26.178 --> 00:05:30.168
of each tribe are to make a list of
all the plunder taken in the battle,

00:05:30.498 --> 00:05:32.448
including the people and animals.

00:05:33.123 --> 00:05:37.233
Then divide the plunder into two parts
and give half to the men who fought

00:05:37.238 --> 00:05:41.733
the battle and half to the rest of
the people from the army's portion.

00:05:41.913 --> 00:05:45.783
First, give the Lord his share
of the plunder, one of every

00:05:45.783 --> 00:05:50.853
500 of the prisoners and of the
cattle, donkeys, sheep and goats.

00:05:51.573 --> 00:05:56.553
Give this share of the army's half to LEAs
or the priest as an offering to the Lord.

00:05:57.318 --> 00:06:01.668
From the half that belongs to the people
of Israel, take one of every 50 of the

00:06:01.668 --> 00:06:07.908
prisoners and of the cattle, donkeys,
sheep, goats, and other animals give this

00:06:07.908 --> 00:06:12.198
share to the Levites who are in charge
of maintaining the Lord's tabernacle.

00:06:12.888 --> 00:06:18.378
So Moses and Zer, the priest did
as the Lord commanded Moses, the

00:06:18.378 --> 00:06:21.018
plunder remaining from everything
the fighting men had taken,

00:06:21.318 --> 00:06:24.408
totaled 675,000 sheep and goats.

00:06:24.768 --> 00:06:31.218
72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys,
and 32,000 virgin girls.

00:06:32.448 --> 00:06:34.818
Half of the plunder was
given to the fighting men.

00:06:35.268 --> 00:06:42.498
It totaled 337,500 sheep and goats,
of which 675 were the Lord's share.

00:06:43.158 --> 00:06:47.088
36,000 cattle, of which
72 were the Lord's share.

00:06:47.838 --> 00:06:52.428
30,500 donkeys of which
61 were the Lord's share.

00:06:52.938 --> 00:06:57.678
And 16,000 Virgin girls of
whom 32 were the Lord's share.

00:06:58.368 --> 00:07:03.738
Moses gave all the Lord's share to Zer the
priest, just as the Lord had directed him.

00:07:04.848 --> 00:07:09.138
Half of the plunder belonged to the people
of Israel, and Moses separated it from

00:07:09.138 --> 00:07:10.998
the half belonging to the fighting men.

00:07:11.778 --> 00:07:20.868
It totaled 337,500 sheep and goats,
36,000 cattle, 30,500 donkeys and

00:07:20.868 --> 00:07:24.588
16,000 virgin girls from the half share.

00:07:24.593 --> 00:07:25.608
Given to the people.

00:07:25.878 --> 00:07:31.098
Moses took one of every 50 prisoners
and animals and gave them to the Levites

00:07:31.308 --> 00:07:33.228
who maintained the Lord's tabernacle.

00:07:33.978 --> 00:07:36.798
All this was done as the
Lord had commanded Moses.

00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:43.248
Then all the generals and captains
came to Moses and said, we, your

00:07:43.253 --> 00:07:46.758
servants have accounted for all
the men who went out to battle.

00:07:46.758 --> 00:07:47.658
Under our command.

00:07:48.108 --> 00:07:49.698
Not one of us is missing.

00:07:50.388 --> 00:07:54.858
So we are presenting the items of gold
we captured as an offering to the Lord

00:07:54.858 --> 00:08:00.468
From our share of the plunder, armbands,
bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces.

00:08:01.008 --> 00:08:05.448
This will purify our lives before
the Lord and make us write with him.

00:08:06.468 --> 00:08:11.748
So Moses and LEAs are the priest received
the gold from all the military commanders.

00:08:12.138 --> 00:08:14.748
All kinds of jewelry and crafted objects.

00:08:15.318 --> 00:08:19.278
In all the goal that the generals
and captains presented as a gift to

00:08:19.278 --> 00:08:22.218
the Lord weighed about 420 pounds.

00:08:22.728 --> 00:08:27.228
All the fighting men had taken some of
the plunder for themselves, so Moses

00:08:27.228 --> 00:08:31.308
and LEAs, or the priest accepted the
gifts from the generals and captains

00:08:31.578 --> 00:08:35.658
and brought the goal to the tabernacle
as a reminder to the Lord that the

00:08:35.658 --> 00:08:37.998
people of Israel belong to him.

00:08:40.218 --> 00:08:43.098
This concludes today's
Immerse Reading experience.

00:08:43.218 --> 00:08:44.448
Thank you for joining us.
