The context of this passage is the aftermath of a divinely commanded battle, where the Israelites, led by Moses, were instructed to take vengeance on the Midianites for their role in leading Israel into sin (Numbers 25). The number 16,000 represents the total number of women who had not known a man intimately, as specified earlier in the chapter.<br><br>In the broader biblical narrative, this event underscores the theme of divine justice and the consequences of leading God's people into idolatry and immorality. The Midianites had previously seduced the Israelites into worshiping Baal of Peor, resulting in a plague that killed 24,000 Israelites (<a href="/numbers/25.htm">Numbers 25:1-9</a>). This battle and its spoils serve as a form of retribution and purification for the nation of Israel.<br><br>Theologically, the number 16,000 can be seen as a symbol of God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises. The division of the spoils, including the people, was done according to God's instructions, ensuring that the Levites, who served in the tabernacle, received their due portion. This reflects the principle of dedicating a portion of one's gains to God, a practice that is echoed in the New Testament with the concept of tithing and offerings (<a href="/2_corinthians/9-7.htm">2 Corinthians 9:7</a>).<br><br>Culturally, the taking of captives in ancient warfare was a common practice, and these individuals would often become servants or be integrated into the community. The inclusion of these 16,000 people into Israelite society would have had significant social and cultural implications, potentially influencing the demographic and cultural landscape of the Israelite community.<br><br>In terms of typology, the purification and integration of these captives can be seen as a foreshadowing of the inclusion of Gentiles into the people of God, a theme that is fully realized in the New Testament with the spread of the Gospel to all nations (<a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34-35</a>). This reflects the overarching biblical narrative of God's desire for all people to come to know Him and be part of His covenant community.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who was commanded by God to take vengeance on the Midianites for leading Israel into sin.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/midianites.htm">Midianites</a></b><br>A nomadic tribe that led Israel into idolatry and immorality, resulting in God's command for their destruction.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, who were instructed to carry out God's judgment against the Midianites.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/plunder.htm">Plunder</a></b><br>The goods and people taken by the Israelites from the Midianites, including the sixteen thousand people mentioned in this verse.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_command.htm">God's Command</a></b><br>The directive given to Moses and the Israelites to execute judgment on the Midianites as a consequence of their actions against Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>The destruction of the Midianites serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of leading others into sin.
