11. And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast;
12. and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan, [near] Jericho.
13. And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the company, go out to meet them, unto the outside of the camp,
