Numbers 31:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ Divide what was taken into two equal parts, one part for the soldiers and the other part for the rest of the community. ²⁸ From the part that belongs to the soldiers, withhold as a tax for the Lord one out of every five hundred prisoners and the same proportion of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. ²⁹ Give them to Eleazar the priest as a special contribution to the Lord.
