22. All of your gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin and lead
23. must be put through fire. So must everything else that doesn't burn up. Then those things will be 'clean.' But they must also be made pure with the special water. In fact, everything that won't burn up must be put through that water.
24. On the seventh day wash your clothes. And you will be 'clean.' Then you can come into the camp."
25. The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,
26. "Here is what you and the priest Eleazar and the family heads of the community must do. You must count all of the people and animals you took.
27. Divide up some of what you took with the soldiers who fought in the battle. Divide up the rest with the others in the community.
28. "Set apart a gift for me. Take something from the soldiers who fought in the battle. Set apart one out of every 500 people, cattle, donkeys, sheep and goats.
29. Take my gift from the soldiers' half. Give it to the priest Eleazar. It is my share.
30. "Also take something from the half that belongs to the people of Israel. Choose one out of every 50 people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats or other animals. Give them to the Levites. They are accountable for taking care of my holy tent."
31. So Moses and the priest Eleazar did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32. What the soldiers took included 675,000 sheep.
33. There were also 72,000 cattle
34. and 61,000 donkeys.
35. And there were 32,000 women who had never made love to a man.
36. Here is the half that belonged to those who had fought in the battle. There were 337,500 sheep.
37. From among them, the Lord's gift was 675.
38. There were 36,000 cattle. From among them, the Lord's gift was 72.
39. There were 30,500 donkeys. From among them, the Lord's gift was 61.
40. There were 16,000 women. From among them, the Lord's gift was 32.
