Numbers 31:25-30

25The Lord told Moses,

26“You, the priest Eleazar, and the family heads of the community are to take a count of what was captured, people and animals.

27Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to war and the entire community.

28Set aside a tribute for the Lord from what belongs to the fighting men who went out to war: one out of every five hundred people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.

29Take the tribute from their half and give it to the priest Eleazar as a contribution to the Lord.

30From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty from the people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats, all the livestock, and give them to the Levites who perform the duties of the Lord’s tabernacle.”
