## Numbers 31:42-47 in Context (Verses 39–50 KJV)
 
 [39 ](/kjv/numbers/31/39) And the asses *were* thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’s tribute *was* threescore and one.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/numbers/31/40) And the persons *were* sixteen thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute *was* thirty and two persons.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/numbers/31/41) And Moses gave the tribute, *which was* the LORD’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/numbers/31/42) And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
 
 [43 ](/kjv/numbers/31/43) (Now the half *that pertained unto* the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand *and* seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
 
 [44 ](/kjv/numbers/31/44) And thirty and six thousand beeves,
 
 [45 ](/kjv/numbers/31/45) And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
 
 [46 ](/kjv/numbers/31/46) And sixteen thousand persons;)
 
 [47 ](/kjv/numbers/31/47) Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, *both* of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
 
 [48 ](/kjv/numbers/31/48) ¶ And the officers which *were* over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
 
 [49 ](/kjv/numbers/31/49) And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which *are* under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.*
 
 [50 ](/kjv/numbers/31/50) We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.*
