And take a portion unto the Lord of the men of war which went o•te to ⟨image 305⟩battle one of five hundred / of the women and of the oxen and of the asses and of the sheep: and ye shall take it of their half and give it unto Eleazer the priest / an heave offering unto the Lord. And of the half of y children of Israel / take one of fifty / of y women / of the oxen / of the asses and of the sheep / and of all manner of beasts / & give them unto the levites which wait upon the habitation of the Lord.
