Numbers 31:32-54 ▼

32 And this was and the plunder remaining from the plunder that the men of war had taken: Six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

33 and of the herd two and seventy thousand,

34 and one and sixty thousand donkeys,

35 and persons of women who had not known the lying with a man, all the persons, two and thirty thousand.

36 And the half, the portion for those who had gone out to war: The number of the sheep was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred,

37 and the tribute to YHWH of the sheep was six hundred five and seventy.

38 And the cattle, six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to YHWH, two and seventy.

39 And the donkeys were thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH one and sixty.

40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH two and thirty persons.

41 And Moses gave the tribute—the contribution to YHWH—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH had commanded Moses.

42 And from half of the sons of Israel, which Moses separated from the men who fought;

43 and the half belonging to the congregation was: Of the flock three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand, and five hundred,

44 and of the herd six and thirty thousand,

45 and donkeys thirty thousand and five hundred,

46 and persons sixteen thousand.

47 And Moses took from the sons of Israel half of one possession of every fifty, man and beast, and he gave to them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of YHWH, as YHWH had commanded Moses.

48 And the officers who were over thousands of the army, captains of the thousands and captains of the hundreds, came near to Moses,

49 and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who are under our command, and not a man of us is missing.

50 And we have brought YHWH an offering for every man from that which he has found, of ornaments of gold, armlets, and bracelets, and signet rings, and earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement upon our souls before the face of YHWH.”

51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from them—all the fashioned ornaments.

52 And all the gold of the contribution that they lifted up to YHWH was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from captains of the thousands and captains of the hundreds.

53 The men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.

54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the sons of Israel before the face of YHWH.
