21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the army that came from the battle array, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
22 Beside the gold, the silver, the brass, the iron, the lead, and the tin,
23 everything that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatsoever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
24 And on the seventh day you shall wash your garments and be clean; and afterwards you shall come into the camp.
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
27 And you shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
28 And you shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the donkeys; and you shall take from their half.
29 And you shall give them to Eleazar the priest as the firstfruits of the Lord.
30 And from the half belonging to the children of Israel you shall take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the donkeys, and from all the cattle; and you shall give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
