Then came near unto Moses the officers who belonged unto the thousands of the host, - the princes of thousands and the princes of hundreds;

and said unto Moses, Thy servants have reckoned up the sum of the men of war who are in our hand, - and there is not missed from among us, a man!

Therefore have we brought near an offering unto Yahweh, what, each man, hath found - articles of gold, ankle chains and bracelets, rings earrings and buckles, - to put a propitiatory-covering over our souls before Yahweh.

So Moses, and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, - all the wrought articles.

And all the gold of the heave-offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was - sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, - of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds.

The men of the host, had taken prey, each man for himself.

So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds, - and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh.
