Numbers 31:48-54

Living Bible

^48-49 Then the officers and battalion leaders came to Moses and said, “We have accounted for all the men who went out to battle, and not one of us is missing! ⁵⁰ So we have brought a special thank offering to the Lord from our loot—gold jewelry, bracelets, anklets, rings, earrings, and necklaces. This is to make atonement for our souls before the Lord.”

^51-52 Moses and Eleazar the priest received this special offering from the captains and battalion leaders and company commanders, and found its total value to be more than $300,000. ⁵³ (The soldiers had also kept personal loot for themselves.) ⁵⁴ The offering was taken into the Tabernacle and kept there before the Lord as a memorial of the people of Israel.
