31 ²⁵ Yahweh said to Moses, 31 ²⁶ "Take the count of the booty that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation; 31 ²⁷ and divide the booty into two parts, between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation. 31 ²⁸ And levy for Yahweh a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the flocks; 31 ²⁹ take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to Yahweh. 31 ³⁰ And from the people of Israel's half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who have charge of the tabernacle of Yahweh." 31 ³¹ And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.

31 ³² Now the booty remaining of the spoil that the men of war took was: six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep, 31 ³³ seventy-two thousand cattle, 31 ³⁴ sixty-one thousand asses, 31 ³⁵ and thirty-two thousand persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him. 31 ³⁶ And the half, the portion of those who had gone out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, 31 ³⁷ and Yahweh's tribute of sheep was six hundred and seventy-five. 31 ³⁸ The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which Yahweh's tribute was seventy-two. 31 ³⁹ The asses were thirty thousand five hundred, of which Yahweh's tribute was sixty-one. 31 ⁴⁰ The persons were sixteen thousand, of which Yahweh's tribute was thirty-two persons. 31 ⁴¹ And Moses gave the tribute, which was the offering for Yahweh, to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

31 ⁴² From the people of Israel's half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had gone to war - 31 ⁴³ now the congregation's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, 31 ⁴⁴ thirty-six thousand cattle, 31 ⁴⁵ and thirty thousand five hundred asses, 31 ⁴⁶ and sixteen thousand persons - 31 ⁴⁷ from the people of Israel's half Moses took one of every fifty, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had charge of the tabernacle of Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

31 ⁴⁸ Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses, 31 ⁴⁹ and said to Moses, "Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us. 31 ⁵⁰ And we have brought Yahweh's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh." 31 ⁵¹ And Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold, all wrought articles. 31 ⁵² And all the gold of the offering that they offered to Yahweh, from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 31 ⁵³ (The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.) 31 ⁵⁴ And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the people of Israel before Yahweh.
