Numbers 31: In this chapter, we learn about how Israel went fo war against the Midianites.They attacked Midian, just as God had commanded Moses, and killed every last man. They are even commanded to kill every woman who has slept with a man because they are the ones who, under Balaam’s direction, seduced the People of Israel away from God in that mess at Peor, causing the plague that hit God’s people. Also, we learn how the soldiers were taxed a portion of their gains. It was commanded thaf tax would be levied on congregation’s half-share at the rate of one life out of fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, or other animals.
