48 And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the commanders of thousands and the captains of hundreds came near to Moses; 49 And they said to Moses, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge and there lacks not one man of us. 50 We have therefore brought as an offering for the LORD what every man has found, articles of gold, ankle chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD. 51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all wrought jewels. 52 And all the gold of the gift offering that they offered to the LORD, from the commanders of thousands and from the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels 53 (For the men of war had plundered every man for himself.) 54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from commanders of thousands and from captains of hundreds and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
