however
the gold, and
the
silver, the
brass
, the
iron, the
tin, and the
lead ,
everything that can
withstand
the fire —must
be
put
through the fire, and it will
be clean .
But

And everything
that cannot
withstand the fire must
pass
through the water.
everything that may
abide
the fire ,
you
shall
make
to
go
through the fire, and it shall
be clean ;
nevertheless
it shall
be purified with the water for
impurity:
and all
that doesn't
withstand the fire you
shall
make
to
go
through the water.
On
the
seventh
day
you are
to
wash your clothes, and you will
be clean .
After
that
you may
enter
the camp. ”

The
LORD
said
to Moses,
Yahweh
spoke
to Moses, saying,
“
You and Eleazar the priest and the family
heads of the congregation
are
to
take
a
count
of
what
was
captured,
both
of man
and
beast.
Take
the
sum
of
the
prey
that
was
taken,
both
of
man
and
of
animal,
you ,
and Eleazar the priest ,
and the heads of the fathers'
[houses]
of the
congregation;
Then
divide the captives
between the troops
who went out to battle and the
rest
of
the congregation.
and
divide the prey
into
two
parts:
between the men
skilled
in
war,
who went out to battle ,
and all
the congregation.
Set
aside
a tribute for
the
LORD
from
what
belongs
to the soldiers
who went into
battle: one out
of every
five hundred, whether
persons, cattle
, donkeys, or
sheep.

to

persons, and
of

, and
of
the
donkeys, and
of
the
flocks:
Take it from
their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as

offering to
the
LORD
.

the
flocks
, [even]
of

the Israelites’
half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons
and animals
and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle
of the
LORD,
as the
LORD
had
commanded him
.
even
of
the children
of
Israel's
half, Moses took one drawn
out of every fifty ,
both
of
man
and of
animal,
and gave them to the Levites ,

charge of the tent
of Yahweh;

commanded Moses

of the army—
the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds —approached

under our command
, and not one of us is
missing
.
and they
said to
Moses
, Your servants have taken
the sum
of
the
men
of
war
who
are
under our charge
, and there
lacks
not one man
of us.
So
we have brought to
the
LORD
an
offering of the
gold articles
each
man
acquired—armlets
, bracelets, rings, earrings
, and necklaces—
to make atonement for ourselves
before the
LORD
. ”

man
has
gotten,

made
out

gold.
