Numbers 31:25-47

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.”

31So Moses and the priest Eleazar did as the Lord commanded Moses.

32The captives remaining from the plunder the army had taken totaled: 675,000 sheep and goats,

3372,000 cattle,

3461,000 donkeys,

35and 32,000 people, all the females who had not gone to bed with a man.

36The half portion for those who went out to war numbered: 337,500 sheep and goats,

37and the tribute to the Lord was 675 from the sheep and goats;

38from the 36,000 cattle, the tribute to the Lord was 72;

39from the 30,500 donkeys, the tribute to the Lord was 61;

40and from the 16,000 people, the tribute to the Lord was 32 people.

41Moses gave the tribute to the priest Eleazar as a contribution for the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

42From the Israelites’ half, which Moses separated from the men who fought,

43the community’s half was: 337,500 sheep and goats,

4436,000 cattle,

4530,500 donkeys,

46and 16,000 people.

47Moses took one out of every fifty, selected from the people and the livestock of the Israelites’ half. He gave them to the Levites who perform the duties of the Lord’s tabernacle, as the Lord had commanded him.
