What does "Numbers 31:36" mean?
Numbers 31 describes the Israelites' victory over the Midianites and the subsequent division of the spoils. Verse 36 specifically deals with the division of the sheep captured from the Midianites.
"The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war...": After the battle, the spoils (livestock, people, etc.) were divided into two equal halves. One half was for the warriors who actually fought in the battle, and the other half was for the rest of the Israelite community (the congregation). This verse is talking about the warriors' share of the sheep.
"...was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:": This simply states the total number of sheep that the warriors received as their share of the booty. In essence, it means the warriors received 337,500 sheep as their portion of the captured sheep.
