Numbers 31:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ So there were delivered from the thousands of Israel a thousand of each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. ⁶ Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy vessels and the trumpets to sound the alarm in his hand.

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