- "You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured.
- Divide the spoils between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community.
- From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the LORD one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep or goats.
- Take this tribute from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as the LORD's part.
- From the Israelites' half, select one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats or other animals. Give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the LORD's tabernacle."

- Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
- And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
- And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
- Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
- And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
