31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the
battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and
the lead,
31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through
the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with
the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make
go through the water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
31:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26 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:
31:27 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:
31:28 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:
31:29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
heave offering of the LORD.
31:30 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.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:32 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,
31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not
known man by lying with him.
31:36 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:
31:37 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore
and fifteen.
31:38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve.
31:39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
31:40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute
was thirty and two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the
men that warred,
31:43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three
hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred
sheep,
31:44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
31:45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
31:46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
