women and of cattle, thou and Eleazer the priest and the ancient heads
of the congregation. And divide it into two parts, between them that
took the war upon them and went out to battle and all the congregation.
And take a portion unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to
battle one of five hundred, of the women and of the oxen and of the
asses and of the sheep and ye shall take it of their half and give it
unto Eleazer the priest, an heave offering unto the LORD. And of the
half of the children of Israel, take one of fifty, of the women, of the
oxen, of the asses and of the sheep, and of all manner of beasts, and
give them unto the Levites which wait upon the habitation of the LORD.
And Moses and Eleazer the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. And
the booty and the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred
thousand and seventy five thousand sheep: and seventy two thousand
oxen: and sixty one thousand asses: and thirty two thousand women that
had lien by no man. And the half which was the part of them that went
out to war, was three hundred thousand and thirty seven thousand and
five hundred sheep: And the LORD's part of the sheep was six hundred
and seventy five. And the oxen were thirty six thousand, of which the
LORD's part was seventy two. And the asses were thirty thousand and
five hundred, of which the LORD's part was sixty one. And the women
were sixteen thousand, of which the LORD's part was thirty two souls.

the children of Israel which Moses separated from the men of war (that

thirty six thousand oxen: and thirty thousand asses and five hundred:
and sixteen thousand women. And Moses took of this half that pertained
unto the children of Israel: one of every fifty, both of the women and
of the cattle, and gave them unto the Levites which waited upon the
habitation of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses. And the officers
of thousands of the host, the captains over the thousands and the
captains over the hundreds came forth and said unto Moses: Thy servants
have taken the sum of the men of war, which were under our hand, and
there lacked not one man of them. We have therefore brought a present
unto the LORD what every man found of Iewels of gold, chains,
bracelets, rings, earrings and spangles, to make an atonement for our
souls before the LORD. And Moses and Eleazer took the gold of them:
Iewels of all manner fashions. And all the gold of the heave offering
of the LORD, of the captains over thousands and hundreds was sixteen
