23 everything that can endure fire, you shall put through the fire, and it shall be clean; and it shall be purified awith the water of purification. But all that cannot endure fire you shall put through water.

Division of the Plunder

25 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
26 “Count up the plunder that was1 taken—of man and beast—you and Eleazar the priest and the chief fathers of the congregation;  
27 and adivide the plunder into two parts, between those who took part in the war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.  
28 And levy a tribute for the Lord on the men of war who went out to battle: aone of every five hundred of the persons, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep;  
29 take it from their half, and agive it to Eleazar the priest as a heave offering to the Lord.  
30 And from the children of Israel’s half you shall take aone of every fifty, drawn from the persons, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep, from all the livestock, and give them to the Levites bwho keep charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.”  
31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32 The booty remaining from the plunder, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 seventy-two thousand cattle,
34 sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women who had not known a man intimately.
36 And the half, the portion for those who had gone out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep;
37 and the Lord’s1 tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.  
38 The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord’s tribute was seventy-two.
39 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the Lord’s tribute was sixty-one.
40 The persons were sixteen thousand, of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty-two persons.
41 So Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord’s heave offering to Eleazar the priest, aas the Lord commanded Moses.
