So Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord's heave offering to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
42
And from the children of Israel's half, which Moses separated from the men who fought--
43
now the half belonging to the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44
thirty-six thousand cattle,
45
thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
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.
