25. The Lord said to Moses,
26. “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured.
27. Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community.
28. From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the Lord one out of every five hundred, whether people, cattle, donkeys or sheep.
29. Take this tribute from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as the Lord’s part.
