Numbers 31:25-47
Division of the Loot
25Then Yahweh 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 loot 1that was captured, both of man and of animal; 27and adivide the loot between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation. 28“aAnd you shall exact a levy for Yahweh from the men of war who went out to battle, one 1in five hundred of the persons and of the cattle and of the donkeys and of the sheep; 29take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest, as a 1contribution to Yahweh. 30“And from the sons of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of 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 akeep charge of the tabernacle of Yahweh.” 31Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
32Now the loot that remained from the plunder which the 1men of war had plundered was 675,000 sheep, 33and 72,000 cattle, 34and 61,000 donkeys, 35and of human beings, of the women who had not known man 1intimately, all the persons were 32,000.
36And the half, the portion of those who went out to war, was as follows: the number of sheep was 337,500; 37and the levy of Yahweh from the sheep was 675; 38and the cattle were 36,000, from which the levy of Yahweh was 72; 39and the donkeys were 30,500, from which the levy of Yahweh was 61; 40and the human beings were 16,000, from whom the levy of Yahweh was 32 persons. 41And Moses gave the levy, which was the contribution to Yahweh, to Eleazar the priest, just aas Yahweh had commanded Moses.
42As for the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses 1separated from the men who had gone to war— 43now the congregation’s half was 337,500 sheep, 44and 36,000 cattle, 45and 30,500 donkeys, 46and the human beings were 16,000— 47and from the sons of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animals, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the responsibility of the tabernacle of Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
