Numbers 31:37-50
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
37the Lord’S tribute tax of the sheep was 675; 38the cattle were thirty-six thousand, from which the Lord’S tribute tax was seventy-two; 39the donkeys were 30,500, from which the Lord’S tribute tax was sixty-one; 40and the captive people were sixteen thousand, from whom the Lord’S tribute tax was thirty-two persons. 41And Moses gave the tribute tax, which was the Lord’S offering, to Eleazar the priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
42As for the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from the men who had gone to war—
43now the congregation’s half was 337,500 sheep,
44thirty-six thousand cattle,
4530,500 donkeys,
46and the captive people were sixteen thousand—
47from the sons of Israel’s half Moses took one drawn from every fifty, both of people and of animals, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
48Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, approached Moses,
49and they said to Moses, 'Your servants have taken a census of the men of war who are under our authority, and no man of us is missing.
50So we have brought as an offering to the Lord what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.'
King James Version
Chapter 31
37And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 38And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve. 39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one. 40And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons. 41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. 42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men 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, 44And thirty and six thousand beeves, 45And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, 46And sixteen thousand persons;) 47Even 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; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50We 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.

48The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, approached Moses
49and told him, "Your servants have taken a census of the fighting men under our command, and not one of us is missing.
50So 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."

Chapter 31
37of which 675 were the Lord’s share; 3836,000 cattle, of which 72 were the Lord’s share; 3930,500 donkeys, of which 61 were the Lord’s share; 40and 16,000 virgin girls, of whom 32 were the Lord’s share. 41Moses gave all the Lord’s share to Eleazar the priest, just as the Lord had directed him.
42Half of the plunder belonged to the people of Israel, and Moses separated it from the half belonging to the fighting men.
43It totaled 337,500 sheep and goats,
4436,000 cattle,
4530,500 donkeys,
46and 16,000 virgin girls.
47From the half-share given to the people, Moses took one of every fifty prisoners and animals and gave them to the Levites, who maintained the Lord’s Tabernacle. All this was done as the Lord had commanded Moses.
48Then all the generals and captains came to Moses
49and said, 'We, your servants, have accounted for all the men who went out to battle under our command; not one of us is missing!
50So we are presenting the items of gold we captured as an offering to the Lord from our share of the plunder — armbands, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces. This will purify our lives before the Lord and make us right with him. '

Chapter 31
37and the LORD’s tribute of sheep was 675. 38The cattle were 36,000, of which the LORD’s tribute was 72. 39The donkeys were 30,500, of which the LORD’s tribute was 61. 40The persons were 16,000, of which the LORD’s tribute was 32 persons. 41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the contribution for the LORD, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42From the people of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had served in the army—
43now the congregation’s half was 337,500 sheep,
4436,000 cattle,
45and 30,500 donkeys,
46and 16,000 persons—
47from the people of Israel’s half Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who kept guard over the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
48Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, came near to Moses
49and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.
50And we have brought the LORD’s offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
New International Version
Chapter 31
37of which the tribute for the LORD was 675;
3930,500 donkeys, of which the tribute for the LORD was 61;
4016,000 people, of whom the tribute for the LORD was 32.
42The half belonging to the Israelites, which Moses set apart from that of the fighting men--
43the community's half--was 337,500 sheep,
4436,000 cattle,
4530,500 donkeys
46and 16,000 people.
47From the Israelites' half, Moses selected one out of every fifty people and animals, as the LORD commanded him, and gave them to the Levites, who were responsible for the care of the LORD's tabernacle.
48Then the officers who were over the units of the army--the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds--went to Moses
49and said to him, 'Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one is missing.
50So we have brought as an offering to the LORD the gold articles each of us acquired--armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces--to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.'
New King James Version
Chapter 31
37and the Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five. 38The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord’s tribute was seventy-two. 39The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the Lord’s tribute was sixty-one. 40The persons were sixteen thousand, of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty-two persons. 41So Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord’s heave offering to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
42And from the children of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from the men who fought—
43now the half belonging to the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44thirty-six thousand cattle,
45thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46and sixteen thousand persons—
47and from the children of Israel’s half Moses took one of every fifty, drawn from man and beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
48Then the officers who were over thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses;
49and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who are under our command, and not a man of us is missing.
50Therefore we have brought an offering for the Lord, what every man found of ornaments of gold: armlets and bracelets and signet rings and earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”
