Numbers 31:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ “You, Eleazar the priest, and the leading fathers^[a] of the community are to count the spoils of war—the captives, both people and animals— ²⁷ and divide the spoils of war into two equal parts: one part for the troops who went out for combat and one for all the rest of the community. ²⁸ Raise a tribute to the Lord to be given by the fighting men who went out for battle. Take one out of every five hundred from the people, the cattle, the donkeys, and the flocks.
