Numbers 31:34

Verse 34 of 54. The 31st of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

30Of 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.”

31Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

32Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,

33seventy-two thousand head of cattle,

34sixty-one thousand donkeys,

35and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.

36The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep;

37and the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.

38The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the LORD’s tribute was seventy-two.
