Numbers 18:9
18:9 Of all the most holy offerings reserved 1 from the fire this will be yours: Every offering of theirs, whether from every grain offering or from every purification offering or from every reparation offering which they bring to me, will be most holy for you and for your sons.
Numbers 19:15
19:15 And every open container that has no covering fastened on it is unclean.
Numbers 31:7
31:7 They fought against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses, and they killed every male. 2
Numbers 32:18
32:18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has his inheritance.
1 tn Heb “from the fire.” It probably refers to those parts that were not burned.
2 sn Many modern biblical scholars assume that this passage is fictitious. The text says that they killed every male, but Judges accounts for the Midianites. The texts can be harmonized rather simply – they killed every Midianite who was in the battle. Midianite tribes and cities dotted the whole region, but that does not mean Israel went and killed every single one of them. There apparently was a core of Midianites whom Balaam had influenced to pervert Israel.
