- but as his part:
- This equitable edict was somewhat different from that which had so long obtained in Israel, and by which the spoil of the Midianites was divided. That related to the whole people: this only to the soldiers, some of whom went to battle, while others guarded the baggage. "And divideª°¹ the preyª into two parts;²° between¹ them that tookª° the warª upon them, who went outª° to battle,ª and between¹ all¹ the congregation:ª" {Num 31:27} + "And he spakeª° unto¹ them, saying,ª° Returnª° with muchª richesª unto¹ your tents,ª and with veryª muchª cattle,ª with silver,ª and with gold,ª and with brass,ª and with iron,ª and with veryª muchª° raiment:ª divideª° the spoilª of your enemiesª° with¹ your brethren.ª" {Jsh 22:8} + "Kingsª of armiesª did flee²° apace:ª° and she that tarriedª at homeª dividedª° the spoil.ª" {Psa 68:12}
