“Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.”
King James Version (KJV)
31:3 Avenge ye the Lord - For the affront which they offered to God, by their own idolatry and lewdness, and by seducing God's people into rebellion against him. God's great care was to avenge the Israelites, #Nu 31:2|, and Moses's chief desire was to avenge God rather than himself or the people.
Auenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered vnto thy people.
