And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken a census of the men of war who are under our authority, and no man of us is missing.

And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

"So we have brought as an offering to the LORD what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."

We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord , what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord .

Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all kinds of crafted articles.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

All the gold of the offering which they offered up to the LORD, from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, was 16,750 shekels.

And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord , of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

The men of war had taken plunder, every man for himself.

(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it to the tent of meeting as a memorial for the sons of Israel before the LORD.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord .
