The officers in charge of the thousands who fought, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, approached Moshe
49
and said to him, "Your servants have counted all the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
50
We have brought an offering for ADONAI, what every man has obtained in the way of gold jewelry -armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings and belts -to make atonement for ourselves before ADONAI."
51
Moshe and El'azar the cohen accepted their gold, all the jewelry.
52
All the gold in this gift which the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds set apart for ADONAI weighed 420 pounds.
53
For the soldiers had taken booty, every man for himself.
54
Moshe and El'azar the cohen took the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting as a reminder for the people of Isra'el before ADONAI.
