Numbers 31
Brenton 1851 translation with original translator material, eBible HTML edition
40 and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
41 And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;
42 from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
43 And the half taken from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
44 And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
45 asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
46 and persons, sixteen thousand.
47 And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel §§the fiftieth part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
48 And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
49 Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
50 And we have brought our gift to the Lord, every man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
52 And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
53 For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the ***vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
