Contextual Overview

25 The Lord told Moses: 26Make a list of everything taken from the Midianites, including the captives and the animals. Then divide them between the soldiers and the rest of the people. Eleazar the priest and the family leaders will help you. 28From the half that belongs to the soldiers, set aside for the Lord one out of every five hundred people or animals and give these to Eleazar. 30 From the half that belongs to the people, set aside one out of every fifty and give these to the Levites in charge of the sacred tent. 31 Moses and Eleazar followed the Lord 's instructions 32and listed everything that had been taken from the Midianites. The list included 675,000 sheep and goats, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 young women who had never had sex. 36Each half included 337,500 sheep and goats, 36,000 cattle, 30,500 donkeys, and 16,000 young women. From the half that belonged to the soldiers, Moses counted out 675 sheep and goats, 72 cattle, 61 donkeys, and 32 women and gave them to Eleazar to be dedicated to the Lord . Then from the half that belonged to the people, Moses set aside one out of every fifty animals and women, as the Lord had said, and gave them to the Levites.
