Numbers 31:38
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 And the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’s tribute was threescore and one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute was thirty and two persons.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
