Numbers 31:40-52 Amplified Bible (AMP)

40. The persons were 16,000, of whom the Lord's tribute was 32 persons.

41. And Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord's offering to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

42. And the Israelites' half Moses separated from that of the warriors'–

43. Now the congregation's half was 337,500 sheep,

44. And 36,000 cattle,

45. And 30,500 donkeys,

46. And 16,000 persons–

47. Even of the Israelites' half, Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites, who had charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

49. They told [him], Your servants have counted the warriors under our command, and not one man of us is missing.

50. We have brought as the Lord's offering what each man obtained–articles of gold, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, neck ornaments–to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.

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

52. And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the Lord from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds was 16,750 shekels.
