Numbers 31:32-54 ▼

32 And the booty and the captives which the men of war had plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

33 And seventy-two thousand oxen,

34 And sixty-one thousand asses,

35 And thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women who had not known man by lying with him.

36 And the half, which was the portion of those who went out to war was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred sheep;

37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six thousand and seven hundred and fifty.

38 And the oxen were thirty-six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was seven hundred and twenty.

39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was six hundred and ten.

40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was three hundred and twenty persons.

41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S gift offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men who had gone out to war,

43 (Now the half that pertained to the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred sheep.

44 And thirty-six thousand oxen,

45 And thirty thousand and five hundred asses,

46 And sixteen thousand persons),

47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of every fifty, both of man and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites, who have charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

49 And they said to Moses, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge and there lacks not one man of us.

50 We have therefore brought as an offering for the LORD what every man has found, articles of gold, ankle chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.

51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all wrought jewels.

52 And all the gold of the gift offering that they offered to the LORD, from the commanders of thousands and from the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels

53 (For the men of war had plundered every man for himself.)

54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from commanders of thousands and from captains of hundreds and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
