LEVITES, The plunder of war, including captives

Numbers 31:30-47

30. Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the LEVITES, who perform the duty of The LORD's tabernacle."
31. Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32. Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33. and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34. and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35. and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
36. The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
37. and The LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
38. The cattle were thirty-six thousand; of which The LORD's tribute was seventy-two.
39. The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which The LORD's tribute was sixty-one.
40. The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom The LORD's tribute was thirty-two persons.
41. Moses gave the tribute, which was The LORD's wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42. Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men who fought
43. (now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44. and thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
45. and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46. and sixteen thousand persons),
47. 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 performed the duty of The LORD's tabernacle; as the LORD commanded Moses.
