Numbers 31:25-29 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.
