Numbers 31:31-40

31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

32 The plunder remaining from everything the fighting men had taken totaled 675,000 sheep and goats, 33 72,000 cattle, 34 61,000 donkeys, 35 and 32,000 virgin girls.

36 Half of the plunder was given to the fighting men. It totaled 337,500 sheep and goats, 37 of which 675 were the Lord’s share; 38 36,000 cattle, of which 72 were the Lord’s share; 39 30,500 donkeys, of which 61 were the Lord’s share; 40 and 16,000 virgin girls, of whom 32 were the Lord’s share.

  1. Okay, I will try to help you to understand this passage if I can-- this war was when the Lord had proclaimed war against the Medianites for the Israelites. The Lord was instructing the Israelites in his Laws of the land, and the Medianites were attempting to seduce the Israelites into sexual immorality by worshiping the Baal of Peor.

    So  the Lord told Moses to go to war with the Midianites, then he will be gathered to his people.

    The  Lord asked for all this plunder to divide it to be given to the soldiers who had fought in the battle for him as a tribute as his part; the reason the Lord asked for VIRGIN women was because after the war was over, anything left that was unclean had to be killed; only pure things could be left in the community; so he needed virgin women for the soliders to have to start a new community if they will obey the Lords commandments for them this time and do as he instructs them to!

    Hope this helped a little??


  2. Because the god of the OT was a tribal war god...an idealized war-chief.

    Don't ask how they got those 32 girls to him...

  3. Because he is a God of luuurve.

  4. huh? They can slaughter the animal as offering.

    But what they did to the Virgin?

    Can some one help? Maybe that why it difficult to get a virgin wife now because all virgin are worried they will get offered.

  5. I'm an atheist, but I can answer this question. It's because the god of the Old Testament was a whoremonger.

  6. those particular 32 had the holy spirit in them...if can't prove me wrong, then I am right... :p

  7. Because God™ is always horny.
