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.
