Numbers 31:43
41 Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
42 From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
44 36,000 cattle,
45 30,500 donkeys,
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.
