The Scriptures 1998

Numbers 31:38-50 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

38. And the cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the levy unto יהוה was seventy-two.

39. And the donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the levy unto יהוה was sixty-one.

40. And the human beings were sixteen thousand, of which the levy unto יהוה was thirty-two beings.

41. So Mosheh gave the levy which was the contribution unto יהוה to El‛azar the priest, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

42. And from the children of Yisra’ĕl’s half, which Mosheh divided from the men who campaigned:

43. now the half belonging to the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

44. and thirty-six thousand cattle,

45. and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,

46. and sixteen thousand human beings.

47. Then Mosheh took from the children of Yisra’ĕl’s half: one out of every fifty, drawn from man and beast, and gave them to the Lĕwites, who guarded the duty of the Dwelling Place of יהוה, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

48. And the officers who were over thousands of the campaign, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, came near to Mosheh,

49. and they said to Mosheh, “Your servants have taken a count of the fighting men under our command, and not a man of us is missing.

50. “So we have brought an offering for יהוה, what every man found of ornaments of gold: armlets and bracelets and signet rings and earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before יהוה.”
