* And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Take the sum of the prey that was taken , both of man and of beast , thou , and Eleazar the priest , and the chief fathers of the congregation : * And divide the prey into two parts ; between them that took the war upon them , who went out to battle , and between all the congregation : * And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle : one soul of five hundred , both of the persons , and of the beeves , and of the asses , and of the sheep : * Take it of their half , and give it unto Eleazar the priest , for an heave offering of the LORD . * And of the children of Israel 's half , thou shalt take one portion of fifty , of the persons , of the beeves , of the asses , and of the flocks , of all manner of beasts , and give them unto the Levites , which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD . * And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses . * And the booty , being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught , was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep , * And threescore and twelve thousand beeves , * And threescore and one thousand asses , * And thirty and two thousand persons in all , of women that had not known man by lying with him . * And the half , which was the portion of them that went out to war , was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep : * And the LORD 'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen . * And the beeves were thirty and six thousand ; of which the LORD 'S tribute was threescore and twelve . * And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred ; of which the LORD 'S tribute was threescore and one . * And the persons were sixteen thousand ; of which the LORD 'S tribute was thirty and two persons . * And Moses gave the tribute , which was the LORD 'S heave offering , unto Eleazar the priest , as the LORD commanded Moses . * And of the children of Israel 's half , which Moses divided from the men that warred , * (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep , * And thirty and six thousand beeves , * And thirty thousand asses and five hundred , * And sixteen thousand persons ;) * Even of the children of Israel 's half , Moses took one portion of fifty , both of man and of beast , and gave them unto the Levites , which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD ; as the LORD commanded Moses .
