1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
  2 aAvenge the children of Israel of
the bMidianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy
people.
  3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm
some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites,
and avenge the LORD of Midiana.

3a avenge the LORD of Midian
Midia was of corrupt morality and false religion and it was they who had
come into the camp of Israel to corrupt them also (Numbers 25:6). In this the
Lord would wipe away the corruption and wickedness of Media before his face
for it had been that which had begun to corrupt Israel, the people of the
Lord, and would have continued to have done so if they were not destroyed.
