Contextual Overview

25 The Lord said to Moses, 26 "You and Eleazar the religious leader and the heads of the fathers' houses of the people should number all that was taken from the battle, both of man and animal. 27 Divide what was taken between the men of war who went to battle and all the people. 28 Then take a tax for the Lord from the men of war who went out to battle. Take one out of 500 of the persons and the cattle and the donkeys and the sheep. 29 Take this from their half and give it to Eleazar the religious leader, as a gift to the Lord. 30 From the half belonging to the people of Israel, take one out of every fifty of the persons and cattle and donkeys and sheep and all the animals. Give them to the Levites who take care of the meeting tent of the Lord." 31 Moses and Eleazar the religious leader did just as the Lord had told Moses. 32 What was left from that which the men of war had taken was 675,000 sheep, 33 72,000 cattle, 34 61,000 donkeys,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And take it of their half,.... Of the half part of the prey divided to the soldiers:

and give it unto Eleazar the priest for an heave offering of the Lord; by way of thanksgiving for the success and victory, God had given them, by means of which so much booty had fallen into their hands.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An heave-offering - Render simply an offering, and compare Numbers 18:24. The verb from which the word here rendered “heave-offering” is derived, is rightly translated “levy” in Numbers 31:28.
