26 'Take the sum of those things which were captured, from man even to beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the common people.
27 And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.
28 And you shall separate a portion for the Lord from the portion of those who fought and were in the battle: one soul out of five hundred, as much from humans, as from oxen and donkeys and sheep.
29 And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, because these are the first-fruits of the Lord.
30 Likewise, from the half of the portion belonging to the sons of Israel, you shall receive the fiftieth head of humans, and of oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and of all living things, and you shall give these to the Levites who stand watch over the care of the tabernacle of the Lord.'
