25. The Lord 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 the Lord 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 the Lord’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 the Lord’s tabernacle.”
31. Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32. Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33. seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34. sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35. and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
