42. And of the half pertaining to the sons of Israel, which Moses divided from the men that had gone to war,
43. (now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep
44. and thirty-six thousand oxen
45. and thirty thousand five hundred asses
46. and sixteen thousand persons)
47. of the half, therefore of the sons of Israel, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
48. And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses,
49. and they said unto Moses, Thy slaves have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge and not one man of us is missing.
50. We have therefore brought an offering for the Lord, each man of what he has found, of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to reconcile our souls before the Lord.
