22. Only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead—
23. everything that will go through the fire—you will pass through the fire, and it will be clean, and only in waters of impurity will it be purified. Whatever does not go into the fire you will pass through the waters.
24. And you will wash your garments on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp.”
25. Yahweh said to Moses, saying,
26. “You and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the families of the community, take count of the war-booty that was captured, both humans and the domestic animals;
27. divide the war-booty between those who engaged in the war, who went out to the battle, and all the community.
28. Exact a tribute for Yahweh from the men of the war, those who went out to the battle, one from five hundred persons, and from the cattle and from the male donkeys and from the flock;
29. take from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to Yahweh.
30. From half of the Israelites, take one share drawn by lot from the fifty from the humans, from the cattle, from the male donkeys, from the flock, from all the domestic animals, and give them to the Levities who keep the responsibilities of the tabernacle of Yahweh.”
31. Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
32. Thus the war-booty that remained of the plunder that the people of the battle plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand flocks of sheep,
33. seventy-two thousand cattle,
34. sixty-one thousand male donkeys,
35. and the life of humankind, from the women who did not have sexual intercourse with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
36. The half of the share that was going out to the battle: the number of the flock of sheep was thee hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred;
37. the tribute to Yahweh from the flock was six hundred and seventy-five;
