30“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 the Lord.”

31Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32Now the booty that remained from the spoil 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.

36The half, the portion of those who went out to war, was as follows: the number of sheep was 337,500,

37and the Lord’s levy of the sheep was 675;

38and the cattle were 36,000, from which the Lord’s levy was 72;

39and the donkeys were 30,500, from which the Lord’s levy was 61;

40and the human beings were 16,000, from whom the Lord’s levy was 32 persons.

41Moses gave the levy which was the Lord’s offering to Eleazar the priest, just aas the Lord had commanded Moses.
