19. “Encamp outside of the camp seven days. Whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
20. As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves.”
21. Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses:
22. however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23. everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity. All that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
24. You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. Afterward you shall come into the camp.”
25. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
26. “Count the plunder that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;
27. and divide the plunder into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28. Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
29. Take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh’s wave offering.
30. Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of Yahweh’s tabernacle.”
31. Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
32. Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33. and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34. and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
