Numbers 31:48-54

Common English Bible

⁴⁸ The commanders over the thousands of the army, officers over thousands and officers over hundreds, approached Moses ⁴⁹ and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the warriors in our charge and not one of us is missing. ⁵⁰ We have brought the Lord’s offering that each found, gold articles—anklets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces—to seek reconciliation for ourselves before the Lord.” ⁵¹ Moses and Eleazar the priest took all the gold articles from them. ⁵² All the gold for the gift offering that was presented to the Lord from the officers of thousands and the officers of hundreds was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels. ⁵³ Each of the men of battle took spoils of war for himself. ⁵⁴ Yet Moses and Eleazar the priest also received the gold from the officers of thousands and of hundreds, and they brought it to the meeting tent as a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord.
