43. the community’s half was:337,500 sheep and goats,

44. 36,000 cattle,

45. 30,500 donkeys,

46. and 16,000 people.

47. Moses took one out of every 50, selected from the people and the livestock of the Israelites’ half. He gave them to the Levites who perform the duties of the Lord’s tabernacle, as the Lord had commanded him.

48. The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, approached Moses

49. and told him, “Your servants have taken a census of the fighting men under our command, and not one of us is missing.

50. So we have presented to the Lord an offering of the gold articles each man found — armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces — to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”
