Numbers 31:46-54 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

46. and sixteen thousand human beings.

47. Then Mosheh took from the children of Yisra’ĕl’s half: one out of every fifty, drawn from man and beast, and gave them to the Lĕwites, who guarded the duty of the Dwelling Place of יהוה, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

48. And the officers who were over thousands of the campaign, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, came near to Mosheh,

49. and they said to Mosheh, “Your servants have taken a count of the fighting men under our command, and not a man of us is missing.

50. “So we have brought an offering for יהוה, what every man found of ornaments of gold: armlets and bracelets and signet rings and earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before יהוה.”

51. And Mosheh and El‛azar the priest received the gold from them, all the fashioned ornaments.

52. And all the gold of the offering that they presented to יהוה, from the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sheqels.

53. The men of the campaign had taken spoil, every man for himself.

54. And Mosheh and El‛azar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a remembrance for the children of Yisra’ĕl before יהוה.
