Lexham English Bible

³² Thus the war-booty that remained of the plunder that the people of the battle plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand flocks of sheep, ³³ seventy-two thousand cattle, ³⁴ sixty-one thousand male donkeys, ³⁵ and the life of humankind, from the women who did not have sexual intercourse with a man,^[a] all the persons^[b] were thirty-two thousand.

³⁶ The half of the share that was going out to the battle: the number of the flock of sheep was thee hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred; ³⁷ the tribute to Yahweh from the flock was six hundred and seventy-five; ³⁸ and the cattle were thirty-six thousand; and the tribute to Yahweh was seventy-two. ³⁹ Of the male donkeys there were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute to Yahweh was sixty-one; ⁴⁰ the humans^[c] were sixteen thousand, and the tribute to Yahweh was thirty-two persons. ⁴¹ And Moses gave away the tribute of the contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

⁴² From the half of the Israelites,^[d] which Moses divided from the men who were fighting, ⁴³ the half that belonged to the community was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred from the flock, ⁴⁴ and thirty-six thousand cattle, ⁴⁵ and thirty thousand five hundred male donkeys, ⁴⁶ and sixteen thousand humans.^{[e] 47} From the half that belonged to the Israelites,^[f] Moses took one share drawn by lot out of every fifty humans^[g] and domestic animals, and he gave them to the Levites, who keep the responsibility of the tabernacle of Yahweh, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
