Numbers 31:35-54

³⁵and 32, 000 women who had not slept with a man.

³⁶This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337, 500 sheep,

³⁷including a tribute to the LORD of 675,

³⁸36, 000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,

³⁹30, 500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,

⁴⁰and 16, 000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.

⁴¹Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁴²From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,

⁴³this half belonged to the congregation: 337, 500 sheep,

⁴⁴36, 000 cattle,

⁴⁵30, 500 donkeys,

⁴⁶and 16, 000 people.

⁴⁷From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.

⁴⁸Then the officers who were over the units of the army — the commanders of thousands and of hundreds — approached Moses

⁴⁹and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.

⁵⁰So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces — to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”

⁵¹So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.

⁵²All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16, 750 shekels.

⁵³Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.

⁵⁴And 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 Israelites before the LORD.
