Numbers 31:25-54
Numbers 31:25-54
-
25The LORD said to Moses,
-
26"Take the count of the plunder that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation,
-
27and divide the plunder into two parts between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.
-
28And levy for the LORD a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the people and of the oxen and of the donkeys and of the flocks.
-
29Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to the LORD.
-
30And from the people of Israel's half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who keep guard over the tabernacle of the LORD."
-
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
32Now the plunder remaining of the spoil that the army took was 675,000 sheep,
-
3372,000 cattle,
-
3461,000 donkeys,
-
35and 32,000 persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him.
-
36And the half, the portion of those who had gone out in the army, numbered 337,500 sheep,
-
37and the LORD's tribute of sheep was 675.
-
38The cattle were 36,000, of which the LORD's tribute was 72.
-
39The donkeys were 30,500, of which the LORD's tribute was 61.
-
40The persons were 16,000, of which the LORD's tribute was 32 persons.
-
41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the contribution for the LORD, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
42From the people of Israel's half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had served in the army--
-
43now the congregation's half was 337,500 sheep,
-
4436,000 cattle,
-
45and 30,500 donkeys,
-
46and 16,000 persons--
-
47from the people of Israel's half Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who kept guard over the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
48Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, came near to Moses
-
49and said to Moses, "Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.
-
50And we have brought the LORD's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."
-
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold, all crafted articles.
-
52And all the gold of the contribution that they presented to the LORD, from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, was 16,750 shekels.
-
53(The men in the army had each taken plunder for himself.)
-
54And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the people of Israel before the LORD.
