Chasidut sobre Números 31:7
וַֽיִּצְבְּאוּ֙ עַל־מִדְיָ֔ן כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיַּֽהַרְג֖וּ כָּל־זָכָֽר׃
E pelejaram contra Midiã, como o SENHOR ordenara a Moisés; e mataram a todos os homens.
Kedushat Levi
Numbers 31,7. “they took the field against Midian as G’d had commanded Moses”
It was quite possible that these soldiers or some of them would entertain egotistical notions, such as the amassing of a great deal of loot, as turned out to be the case. By stressing that the soldiers acted in accordance with what G’d had commanded Moses, the Torah testifies that any thought of booty and other advantages to be gained by this campaign did not surface until after the campaign had ended.
