⁴⁸ Then the leaders of the thousands of the army, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, approached Moses, ⁴⁹ and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken count^[a] of the men of war who were in our charge,^[b] and no man is missing from us. ⁵⁰ So we brought the offering of Yahweh, what each man found, objects of gold, bangles,^[c] bracelets,^[d] rings,^[e] earrings,^[f] and female ornaments,^[g] to make atonement for ourselves before^[h] Yahweh.” ⁵¹ Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all objects of work. ⁵² All the gold of the contribution that they raised up to Yahweh, from the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. ⁵³ The men of battle plundered each for himself. ⁵⁴ So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of the thousands and hundreds, and they brought it to the tent of the assembly as a memorial for the Israelites^[i] before Yahweh.
