04:031:031 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:032 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

04:031:033 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

04:031:034 And threescore and one thousand asses,

04:031:035 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

04:031:036 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

04:031:037 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

04:031:038 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.

04:031:039 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

04:031:040 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.

04:031:041 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:042 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

04:031:043 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

04:031:044 And thirty and six thousand beeves,

04:031:045 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

04:031:046 And sixteen thousand persons;)

04:031:047 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:048 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

04:031:049 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

04:031:050 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

04:031:051 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

04:031:052 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

04:031:053 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

04:031:054 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

04:032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

04:032:002 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

04:032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

04:032:004 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
