31 (11) And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.

(12) And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moshe, and El῾azar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el, to the camp at the plains of Mo᾽av, which are by Yarden near Yereĥo.

(13) And Moshe, and El῾azar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside the camp.

(14) And Moshe was angry with the officers of the host, the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.

(15) And Moshe said to them, Have you saved all the women alive?

(16) Behold, these caused the children of Yisra᾽el, through the counsel of Bil῾am, to revolt against the Lord in the matter of Pe῾or, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.

(17) Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying with him.

(18) But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

(19) And abide outside the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

(20) And purify every garment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.

(21) And El῾azar the priest said to the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the Tora which the Lord commanded Moshe;

(22) only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

(23) every thing that passes through the fire, you shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling: and all that does not pass through the fire shall you make to go through water.

(24) And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean, and afterwards you shall come into the camp.

(25) And the Lord spoke to Moshe saying,

(26) Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and El῾azar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

(27) and divide the prey into two parts; between those who took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

(28) and levy a tribute to the Lord of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beef cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

(29) from their half shall you take it, and give it to El῾azar the priest, for an offering set apart to the Lord.

(30) And of the children of Yisra᾽el’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beef cattle, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.

(31) And Moshe and El῾azar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moshe.

(32) And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred and seventy five thousand sheep.

(33) And seventy two thousand head of beef,

(34) and sixty one thousand asses,

(35) and thirty two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

(36) And the half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty seven thousand, five hundred sheep:
