Numbers - ch 31 v 21 - 40

  1. Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:
  2. But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,
  3. And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.
  4. And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.
  5. And the Lord said to Moses,
  6. Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:
  7. And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:
  8. And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:
  9. Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.
  10. And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.
  11. So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
  12. Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
  13. And seventy-two thousand oxen,
  14. And sixty-one thousand asses;
  15. And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.
  16. And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
  17. Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.
  18. The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;
  19. The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.
  20. And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.
