Numbers 31:28-30

Common English Bible

²⁸ You will offer as tribute to the Lord from each warrior who went into battle one living being in five hundred, whether human, oxen, donkeys, or flocks. ²⁹ Take it from the warriors’ half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a gift offering to the Lord. ³⁰ But from the Israelites’ half you will take one out of every fifty, whether from human, oxen, donkeys, or flock—all the animals. You will give them to the Levites who carry out the duties of the Lord’s dwelling.
