Numbers 31:28-47
28And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks: 29take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah’s heave-offering. 30And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah. 31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
32Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, 33and threescore and twelve thousand oxen, 34and threescore and one thousand asses, 35and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him. 36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep: 37and Jehovah’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 38And the oxen were thirty and six thousand; of which Jehovah’s tribute was threescore and twelve. 39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which Jehovah’s tribute was threescore and one. 40And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Jehovah’s tribute was thirty and two persons. 41And Moses gave the tribute, which was Jehovah’s heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
42And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred 43(now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 44and thirty and six thousand oxen, 45and thirty thousand and five hundred asses, 46and sixteen thousand persons), 47even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
