IV-9 Mattos-Massei : Good As Your Word

Mattos is presented as a double portion with Massei. Mattos opens with the affirmation of vows: if a man; if a woman make a vow... The parasha shifts to the description of the attack against the tribes of Midian led by the Phinehas (Pinchus) with a thousand men chosen from each tribe. Balaam is captured and killed. The Kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba were slaughtered along with all the men; but they brought the women and children back to the camp of Israelites as booty along with the animals and gold they found. Moses is angered by the sight of the women and orders them slaughtered along with all the male children. It becomes genocide. The soldiers and booty must be purified before being accepted into the camp where a levy is taken and given to the priests. Moses then prepares for attack on Gilead against Sihon the King of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan.
