be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.
031:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal,
you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers'
[houses] of the congregation;
031:027 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled
in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
031:028 Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle:
one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen,
and of the donkeys, and of the flocks:
031:029 take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest,
for Yahweh's wave offering.
031:030 Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out
of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys,
and of the flocks, [even] of all the livestock, and give them
to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tent of Yahweh.
031:031 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
031:032 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took,
was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
031:033 and seventy-two thousand oxen,
031:034 and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
031:035 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had
not known man by lying with him.
031:036 The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war,
was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand
five hundred sheep:
031:037 and Yahweh's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
031:038 The oxen were thirty-six thousand; of which Yahweh's
tribute was seventy-two.
031:039 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Yahweh's
tribute was sixty-one.
031:040 The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh's tribute
was thirty-two persons.
031:041 Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh's wave offering,
to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
031:042 Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off
from the men who warred
031:043 (now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven
thousand five hundred sheep,
031:044 and thirty-six thousand oxen,
031:045 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
031:046 and sixteen thousand persons),
031:047 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn
out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them
to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tent of Yahweh;
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
031:048 The officers who were over the thousands of the army,
the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds,
came near to Moses;
031:049 and they said to Moses, Your servants have taken the sum
of the men of war who are under our charge, and there lacks
not one man of us.
031:050 We have brought Yahweh's offering, what every man has gotten,
