So then Moses took—out of the half belonging to the sons of Israel the allotted portion one out of fifty, of the human beings and of the beasts,—and gave them unto the Levites, the keepers of the charge of the habitation of Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
Then was Moses sore displeased with the officers of the force,—the princes of thousands, and the princes of hundreds who were coming in from the warring host.
Then shall the officers speak unto the people saying, Who is the man that hath built a new house and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return unto his house,—lest he die in the battle, and, another man dedicate it.
