And levy a tribute unto the LORD from the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the sheep:

But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
But to the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even to his habitation shall you seek, and there you shall come:
And the princes said to them, Let them live; but let them be cutters of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
