Contextual Overview

25 The Lord said to Moses, 26 "You and Eleazar, together with the other leaders of the community, are to count everything that has been captured, including the prisoners and the animals. 27 Divide what was taken into two equal parts, one part for the soldiers and the other part for the rest of the community. 28 From the part that belongs to the soldiers, withhold as a tax for the Lord one out of every five hundred prisoners and the same proportion of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. 29 Give them to Eleazar the priest as a special contribution to the Lord . 30 From the part given to the rest of the people, take one out of every fifty prisoners and the same proportion of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. Give them to the Levites who are in charge of the Lord 's Tent." 31 Moses and Eleazar did what the Lord commanded. 32The following is a list of what was captured by the soldiers, in addition to what they kept for themselves: 675,000 sheep and goats, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 virgins. 36The half share of the soldiers was 337,500 sheep and goats, of which 675 were the tax for the Lord ; 36,000 cattle for the soldiers, of which 72 were the tax for the Lord ; 30,500 donkeys for the soldiers, of which 61 were the tax for the Lord ; and 16,000 virgins for the soldiers, of which 32 were the tax for the Lord . 41 So Moses gave Eleazar the tax as a special contribution to the Lord , as the Lord had commanded.
