Numbers 31:25-30

25Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26“You and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation take a count of the spoils 1that were captured, both of people and of livestock;

27and 2divide the spoils between the warriors who went to battle and all the congregation.

28Also, 3collect a tribute tax for the Lord from the men of war who went to battle, one 4in five hundred of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep;

29take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest, as an 5offering to the Lord.

30And from the sons of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn from every fifty of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep, from all the animals; and give them to the Levites who 6perform the duty of the tabernacle of the Lord.”
