Numbers 31

21  And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:

22  Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

23  Everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.

24  And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

25  And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

26  Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' `houses' of the congregation;

27  And divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation.

28  And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, `both' of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks:

29  Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah's heave-offering.

30  And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, `even' of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
