Numbers 31:11

9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.

10 Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,

and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.

12 They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.

13 And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
