Numbers 31:6
_ _ Moses sent ... Eleazar the priest, to the war — Although it is not expressly mentioned, it is highly probable that Joshua was the general who conducted this war. The presence of the priest, who was always with the army (Deuteronomy 20:2), was necessary to preside over the Levites, who accompanied the expedition, and to inflame the courage of the combatants by his sacred services and counsels.
_ _ holy instruments — As neither the ark nor the Urim and Thummim were carried to the battlefield till a later period in the history of Israel, the “holy instruments” must mean the “trumpets” (Numbers 10:9). And this view is agreeable to the text, by simply changing “and” into “even,” as the Hebrew particle is frequently rendered. |
Numbers 31:6
Them and Phinehas — Who had the charge not of the army, as general, (an office never committed to a priest in all the Old Testament) but of the holy instruments, and was sent to encourage, and quicken, them in their enterprize. The holy instruments — The holy breast — plate, wherein was the Urim and Thummim, which was easily carried, and very useful in war upon many emergent occasions. |
Numbers 31:6
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and (b) Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
(b) For his great zeal that he bare for the Lord, (Numbers 25:13). |
- a thousand:
- Twelve thousand in all - a small number in proportion to all Israel, or to the forces which they had to encounter. As they were under the conduct of captains of thousands and hundreds, they probably had no general; for Phinehas seems to have accompanied them simply to take charge of "the holy instruments;" probably the ark and silver trumpets.

- Phinehas:
Numbers 25:7-13 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; ... And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
