²⁶ Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou and Eleazar, the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation,

²⁷ and divide the prey into two parts between those that took the part in the war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.

²⁸ And offer a tribute unto the LORD from the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the sheep.
