21. And El‛azar the priest said to the men of the campaign who went to the battle, “This is the law of the Torah which יהוה commanded Mosheh:
22. “Only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23. every object that passes through fire, you put through the fire, and it shall be clean; only, let it be cleansed with the water for uncleanness. And whatever does not pass through fire you pass through water.
24. “And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day and be clean, and afterwards come into the camp.”
25. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
26. “Count up the plunder that was taken, of man and of beast, you and El‛azar the priest and the heads of the fathers of the congregation.
27. “And you shall divide the plunder into two parts, between those who took part in the battle, who went out on the campaign, and all the congregation.
28. “And set aside a levy for יהוה on the men of battle who went out on the campaign: one out of every five hundred, of man, and of the cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the sheep.
29. “Take it from their half, and give it to El‛azar the priest as a contribution to יהוה.
30. “And from the children of Yisra’ĕl’s half you shall take one of every fifty, of man, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep, of all the livestock, and give them to the Lĕwites guarding the duty of the Dwelling Place of יהוה.”
31. And Mosheh and El‛azar the priest did as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
