And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from the men who war--

and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred;

and of the herd six and thirty thousand;

and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred;

and of human beings sixteen thousand--

and they say unto Moses, `Thy servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who are with us, and not a man of us hath been missed;

and we bring near Jehovah's offering, each that which he hath found, vessels of gold--chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, ear -ring, and bead--to make atonement for ourselves before Jehovah.'

And Moses receiveth--Eleazar the priest also--the gold from them, every made vessel,

and all the gold of the heave-offering which they have lifted up to Jehovah is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands, and from heads of the hundreds;

(the men of the host have spoiled each for himself);

and Moses taketh--Eleazar the priest also--the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it in unto the tent of meeting--a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah.

`Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon--
