³⁰From half of the Israelites,^o take one share drawn by lot from the fifty from the humans,^p from the cattle, from the male donkeys, from the flock, from all the domestic animals,^q and give them to the Levites who keep the responsibilities of the tabernacle of Yahweh.” ³¹Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

³²Thus the war-booty that remained of the plunder that the people of the battle plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand flocks of sheep, ³³seventy-two thousand cattle, ³⁴sixty-one thousand male donkeys, ³⁵and the life of humankind, from the women who did not have sexual intercourse with a man,^r all the persons^s were thirty-two thousand.

³⁶The half of the share that was going out to the battle: the number of the flock of sheep was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred; ³⁷the tribute to Yahweh from the flock was six hundred and seventy-five; ³⁸and the cattle were thirty-six thousand; and the tribute to Yahweh was seventy-two. ³⁹Of the male donkeys there were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute to Yahweh was sixty-one; ⁴⁰the humans^t were sixteen thousand, and the tribute to Yahweh was thirty-two persons. ⁴¹And Moses gave away the tribute of the contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
