And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan at Jericho — all plunder is brought to the assembly, not distributed privately. The location (plains of Moab) reminds readers that this is the last wilderness encampment before entry into Canaan; the judgment on Midian is thus a final purification before inheritance.
