Reckon thou up the sum of the booty that was captured, both of man and of beat, - thou and Eleazar the priest, and the ancestral heads of the assembly; and divide the booty into two parts, between them who took upon them the war, who went out in the host, - and all the rest of the assembly. Then shalt thou levy a tribute unto Yahweh - from the men of war, who went forth in the host, one living thing, out of five hundred, - of the human beings, and of the herd, and of the asses and of the flock: read more.
out of their half, shall ye take them , - and thou shall give them unto Eleazar the priest as a heave-offering unto Yahweh. And out of the half allotted to the sons of Israel, shalt thou take one allotted portion out of fifty of the human beings, of the herd, of the asses and of the flock of all b the cattle, - and shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the habitation of Yahweh. And Moses and Eleazar the priest did, - As Yahweh commanded Moses. And it came to pass that the booty, over and above the prey which the people of the host had seized, was, - of the flock, six hundred and seventy-five thousand; and, of the herd, seventy-two thousand; and, of the asses, sixty-one thousand; and, of the human persons, even of the woman-kind who had not cohabited with man, - all the per-sons, thirty-two thousand. And the half, the share of them who had gone forth in the host, was, - the number of the flock - three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred; and so, the tribute unto Yahweh, out of the flock, was - six hundred and seventy-five; and the herd, thirty-six thousand, - and the tribute of them unto Yahweh - seventy-two; and the asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, - and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, sixty-one; and the human persons, sixteen thousand, - and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, thirty-two persons. And Moses gave the tribute - the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Eleazar the priest, - As Yahweh commanded Moses. And, of the half, allotted unto the sons of Israel, - which Moses halved away from the men who had gone out in the host, the half allotted unto the assembly, was - of the flock, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, and five hundred; and, of the herd, six and thirty thousand; and, of asses, thirty thousand and five hundred; and, human persons, sixteen thousand. So then Moses took - out of the half belonging to the sons of Israel the allotted portion one out of fifty, of the human beings and of the beasts, - and gave them unto the Levites, the keepers of the charge of the habitation of Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses. Then came near unto Moses the officers who belonged unto the thousands of the host, - the princes of thousands and the princes of hundreds; and said unto Moses, Thy servants have reckoned up the sum of the men of war who are in our hand, - and there is not missed from among us, a man! Therefore have we brought near an offering unto Yahweh, what, each man, hath found - articles of gold, ankle chains and bracelets, rings earrings and buckles, - to put a propitiatory-covering over our souls before Yahweh. So Moses, and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, - all the wrought articles. And all the gold of the heave-offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was - sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, - of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds. The men of the host, had taken prey, each man for himself. So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds, - and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh.
