'Levy' in the Bible
Levy a tax for the Lord from the men of war who went out to battle, one in five hundred of the persons and of the cattle and of the donkeys and of the sheep;
and the cattle were 36,000, from which the Lord’s levy was 72;
and the donkeys were 30,500, from which the Lord’s levy was 61;
and the human beings were 16,000, from whom the Lord’s levy was 32 persons.
Moses gave the levy which was the Lord’s offering to Eleazar the priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the Lord on the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?”
They made a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the levy fixed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
