4. Mosebok 31,2

1 Herren talte til Moses og sa:

"Ta hevn over midianittene for israelittenes skyld; deretter skal du samles til ditt folk."

3 Moses talte til folket: "Rust noen av mennene deres til krig, så de kan dra mot Midian for å fullbyrde Herrens hevn.

4 Dere skal sende tusen fra hver stamme av alle Israels stammer til krigen."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
