I see the people of Cushan in distress, and the nation of Midian trembling in terror.

古山之帳遭難、米田之帷震動、我目睹之矣。

我見古珊之幕遭難、米甸之帷震動、

The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia.The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away;terror and dread fall upon them. The power of your arm makes them lifeless as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by.

They replied,“ We did it because we— your servants— were clearly told that the Lord your God commanded his servant Moses to give you this entire land and to destroy all the people living in it. So we feared greatly for our lives because of you. That is why we have done this.

Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you—these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. InterludeDo to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.

Gideon also sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying,“ Come down to attack the Midianites. Cut them off at the shallow crossings of the Jordan River at Beth barah.” So all the men of Ephraim did as they were told.They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two Midianite commanders, killing Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. And they continued to chase the Midianites. Afterward the Israelites brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was by the Jordan River.

The descendants of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.The descendants of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

Abraham married another wife, whose name was Keturah.She gave birth to Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s descendants were the Asshurites, Letushites, and Leummites.Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Abraham through Keturah.

And when the people of Moab saw how many Israelites there were, they were terrified.The king of Moab said to the elders of Midian,“ This mob will devour everything in sight, like an ox devours grass in the field!” So Balak, king of Moab,

“ On behalf of the people of Israel, take revenge on the Midianites for leading them into idolatry. After that, you will die and join your ancestors.”So Moses said to the people,“ Choose some men, and arm them to fight the Lord’s war of revenge against Midian.From each tribe of Israel, send 1,000 men into battle.”So they chose 1,000 men from each tribe of Israel, a total of 12,000 men armed for battle.Then Moses sent them out, 1,000 men from each tribe, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest led them into battle. They carried along the holy objects of the sanctuary and the trumpets for sounding the charge.They attacked Midian as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men.All five of the Midianite kings— Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba— died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived.After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals,they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.

For we have heard how the Lord made a dry path for you through the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.
