[36] 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:  [37] And the LORD'S  tribute  of the sheep  was six  hundred  and threescore and fifteen.  [38] And the beeves  were thirty  and six  thousand;  of which the LORD'S  tribute  was threescore and twelve.  [39] And the asses  were thirty  thousand  and five  hundred;  of which the LORD'S  tribute  was threescore  and one.  [40] And the persons  were sixteen  thousand;  of which the LORD'S  tribute  was thirty  and two  persons.  [41] And Moses  gave  the tribute,  which was the LORD'S  heave offering,  unto Eleazar  the priest,  as the LORD  commanded  Moses.  [42] And of the children  of Israel's  half,  which Moses  divided  that warred,  [43] (Now the half  that pertained unto the congregation  was three  hundred  thousand  and thirty  thousand  and seven  thousand  and five  hundred  sheep,  [44] And thirty  and six  thousand  beeves,  [45] And thirty  thousand  asses  and five  hundred,  [46] And sixteen  thousand  persons;)  [47] 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;  commanded  Moses.  [48] And the officers  which were over thousands  of the host,  the captains  of thousands,  and captains  of hundreds,  came near  unto Moses:  [49] And they said  unto Moses,  Thy servants  have taken  the sum  of war  which are under our charge,  and there lacketh  not one man  [50] 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.  [51] And Moses  and Eleazar  the priest  took  the gold  of them, even all wrought  jewels.  [52] 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.  [53] of war  had taken spoil,  every man  for himself.) [54] 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.
