Numbers 31:28-30

New English Translation

²⁸ “You must exact^[a] a tribute for the Lord from the fighting men who went out to battle: one life out of 500, from the people, the cattle, and from the donkeys and the sheep. ²⁹ You are to take it from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest for a raised offering to the Lord. ³⁰ From the Israelites’ half share you are to take one portion out of fifty of the people, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep—from every kind of animal—and you are to give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the Lord’s tabernacle.”
