This includes people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or any other animal. Give that share to the Levites, because they take care of the Lord 's Holy Tent." 31 So Moses and Eleazar did what the Lord commanded Moses. 32 The soldiers had taken 675,000 sheep, 33 72,000 cattle, 34 61,000 donkeys,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. Took an account of the booty, divided it equally between the soldiers and the congregation of Israel, and levied a part out of each as a tribute for the Lord, which was given to the priests and Levites.
