Numbers 31:25–54

²⁵And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁶Take the sum of the prey ^†that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: ²⁷And ^ydivide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: ²⁸And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: ^zone soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: ²⁹Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the Lord. ³⁰And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take ^aone portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the ^||flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, ^bwhich keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. ³¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. ³²And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, ³³And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, ³⁴And threescore and one thousand asses, ³⁵And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. ³⁶And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep: ³⁷And ^cthe Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. ³⁸And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which ^cthe Lord’s tribute was threescore and twelve. ³⁹And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which ^cthe Lord’s tribute was threescore and one. ⁴⁰And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which ^cthe Lord’s tribute was thirty and two persons. ⁴¹And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, ^das the Lord commanded Moses. ⁴²And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, ⁴³(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, ⁴⁴And thirty and six thousand beeves, ⁴⁵And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, ⁴⁶And sixteen thousand persons;) ⁴⁷Even ^eof the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁴⁸And the ^fofficers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: ⁴⁹And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our ^†charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. ⁵⁰We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath ^†gotten, of jewels of gold, ^gchains, and ^hbracelets, rings, ⁱearrings, and ^ktablets, ^lto make an atonement for our souls before the Lord. ⁵¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. ⁵²And all the gold of the ^†offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. ⁵³(For ^mthe men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) ⁵⁴And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, ⁿfor a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
