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.

Numbers 31:27

Two parts - The congregation hath some share, because the warriors went in the name of all, and because all having been injured by the Midianites, all were to have some share in the reparations: but the warriors who were but 12000, have a far greater share than their brethren, because they underwent greater pains and dangers.
