Command to Attack Midian

Numbers 25:17-18

`Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten them,

for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, with which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.'
