Numbers 31:15-40

15And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “Have you 1sparedH2421 2allH3605 the womenH5347? 163BeholdH2005, they causedH1961 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, through the 4counselH1697 of 5BalaamH1109, to be unfaithfulH4604 to the LordH3068 in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, so that the plagueH4046 tookH1961 placeH1961 among the congregationH5712 of the LordH3068! 176NowH6258 therefore, killH2026 everyH3605 maleH2145 among the littleH2945 onesH2945, and killH2026 everyH3605 womanH802 who has knownH3045 a manH376 7intimatelyH4904H2145. 18However, allH3605 the 8girlsH2945H802 whoH834 have not knownH3045 a 9manH2145 intimatelyH4904H2145, keepH2421 aliveH2421 for yourselves. 1910And as for you, campH2583 outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 for sevenH7651 daysH3117; whoeverH3605 has killedH2026 a personH5315 and whoeverH3605 has touchedH5060 anyone killedH2491, purifyH2398 yourselves, you and your captivesH7628, on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117. 20And you shall purifyH2398 for yourselves everyH3605 garmentH899, everyH3605 articleH3627 of leatherH5785, everyH3605 workH4639 of goats’H5795 hair, and everyH3605 articleH3627 of woodH6086.”

21Then EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 to the menH376 of warH6635 who had goneH935 to battleH4421, “ThisH2088 is the statuteH2708 of the LawH8451 whichH834 the LordH3068 has commandedH6680 MosesH4872: 22onlyH389 the goldH2091 and the silverH3701, the bronzeH5178, the ironH1270, the tinH913, and the leadH5777, 23everythingH3605 that can 11withstandH935 the fireH784, you shall passH5674 through the fireH784, and it will beH2891 cleanH2891, onlyH389 it shall be purifiedH2398 with 12waterH4325 for impurityH5079. But whateverH3605H834 cannotH3808 13withstandH935 the fireH784 you shall passH5674 through the waterH4325. 24And you shall washH3526 your clothesH899 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 and you will beH2891 cleanH2891; and afterwardH310 you may enterH935 the campH4264.”

25Then the LordH3068 spokeH559 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 26“You and EleazarH499 the priestH3548 and the headsH7218 of the fathers’H1 households of the congregationH5712 takeH5375 a countH7218 of the spoilsH4455 14that were capturedH7628, both of peopleH120 and of livestockH929; 27and 15divideH2673 the spoilsH4455 betweenH996 the warriorsH8610H4421 who wentH3318 to battleH6635 and allH3605 the congregationH5712. 28Also, 16collectH7311 a tributeH4371 taxH4371 for the LordH3068 from the menH376 of warH4421 who wentH3318 to battleH4421, oneH259 17in fiveH2568 hundredH3967 of the personsH120, of the cattleH1241, of the donkeysH2543, and of the sheepH6629; 29takeH3947 it from their halfH4276 and giveH5414 it to EleazarH499 the priestH3548, as an 18offeringH8641 to the LordH3068. 30And from the sonsH1121 of Israel’sH3478 halfH4276, you shall takeH3947 oneH259 drawnH270 from every fiftyH2572 of the personsH120, of the cattleH1241, of the donkeysH2543, and of the sheepH6629, from allH3605 the animalsH929; and giveH5414 them to the LevitesH3881 who 19performH8104 the dutyH4931 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LordH3068.” 31MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 the priestH3548 didH6213 justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.

32Now the spoilsH4455 that remainedH1961H3499 from the plunderH957 whichH834 the 20menH5971 of warH6635 had plunderedH962 was 675,000H8337H3967H505H7657H2568 sheepH6629, 33seventy-twoH8147H7657 thousandH505 cattleH1241, 34sixty-oneH259H8346 thousandH505 donkeysH2543, 35and of captive peopleH5315H120, of the womenH802 whoH834 had not knownH3045 a 21manH2145 intimatelyH4904, in allH3605 were thirty-twoH8147H7970 thousandH505 peopleH5315.

36The halfH4275, the shareH2506 of those who wentH3318 to warH6635, was as follows: the numberH4557 of sheepH6629 was 337,500H7969H3967H505H7970H7651H2568, 37the Lord’sH3068 tributeH4371 taxH4371 of the sheepH6629 was 675H8337H3967H2568H7657; 38the cattleH1241 were thirty-sixH7970H8337 thousandH505, from which the Lord’sH3068 tributeH4371 taxH4371 was seventy-twoH8147H7657; 39the donkeysH2543 were 30,500H7970H505H2568H3967, from which the Lord’sH3068 tributeH4371 taxH4371 was sixty-oneH259H8346; 40and the captive peopleH5315H120 were sixteenH8337H6240 thousandH505, from whom the Lord’sH3068 tributeH4371 taxH4371 was thirty-twoH8147H7970 personsH5315.
