And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

Verse 30 is found in chapter 31 of Numbers. The war spoils are counted and distributed among the soldiers, the community, and the Levites. A specific contribution to God is also established from the portions received. The distribution prevents the spoils from being treated as exclusively private benefit and incorporates them into Israel’s system of communal and cultic responsibility.

Y de la mitad perteneciente a los hijos de Israel tomarás uno de cincuenta, de las personas, de los bueyes, de los asnos, y de las ovejas, de todo animal; y los darás a los Levitas, que tienen la guarda del tabernáculo de Jehová.
De la mitad de los hijos de Israel tomarás uno de cada cincuenta, de las personas, del ganado vacuno, de los burros, de las ovejas y cabras, de todos los animales; se los darás a los levitas, que tienen a su cargo el cuidado del tabernáculo de Jehová».
Et sur la moitié qui revient aux enfants d'Israël tu prendras un sur cinquante, tant des personnes que des boeufs, des ânes et des brebis, de tout animal; et tu le donneras aux Lévites, qui ont la garde du tabernacle de l'Eternel.
E, della metà appartenente ai figliuoli d’Israele, prendi uno, tratto di cinquanta, degli uomini, de’ buoi, degli asini, delle pecore, e in somma di tutto il bestiame; e da’ quelli a’ Leviti che fanno la fazione del Tabernacolo del Signore.
Mas, da metade dos filhos de Israel, tomarás um de cada cinqüenta, um dos homens, dos bois, dos jumentos, e das ovelhas, e de todos os animais; e os darás aos levitas que têm cuidado da guarda do tabernáculo do SENHOR.
又要從 以色列 人的那一半中,就是從人、牛、驢、羊,各樣牲畜中,每五十取一,交給照管耶和華帳幕的 利未 人。」
