46
and sixteen thousand persons--
47
and from the children of Israel's half Moses took one of every fifty, drawn from man and beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
48
Then the officers who were over thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses;
49
and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who are under our command, and not a man of us is missing.
50
Therefore we have brought an offering for the Lord, what every man found of ornaments of gold: armlets and bracelets and signet rings and earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord."
51
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from them, all the fashioned ornaments.
52
And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the Lord, from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53
(The men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of meeting as a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
