As we're told in Numbers 31:32-46 about the division of loot; 32,000 virgins were captured, the division was 16,000 virgins for the community and other 16,000 virgins for the men of war, of which 32 were the tax for the Lord.

thanks nikster for the verses, exodus 38 & 1Samuel 2 indeed mentioned some women who served at the doorway of the tent, but it didn't say that these women were previous captives taxed to the Lord, although it might be one of the many possibilities, considering also in Judges 11: 29-39 a virgin was burned as an offering and God didn't stopped it from happening.
So I'm still wondering what happened to those particular Midianite virgins that were taxed to God.

Dear Blazey,

In v.41- it says and Moses gave the levy which was the Lord's offering to Elezar the priest.

The captured virgins typically served in the temple (IE: Exodus 38:8 and 1 Samuel 2:22).

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Very good question.
Be honest I have no idea. It stated that from 32000 , half given to Eleazar (to be the sevant in the temple?), half to the men of war (as their wife?) which 32 to Levy (Levy known as God's servant) maybe those girl will be their maids?

That must be the ghostly stories that got "The young one" go wild.
When they could'nt even find one out in the streets back home.
The dreams that turn into smokes and ashes into extinction.
