Numbers 31:48-54

48Then the leaders and the officers of the army went to Moses.

49They said to him: ‘We have counted the soldiers who went to fight against the Midianites. They have all come back safely.

50So we have brought a gift to offer to the Lord. We have brought gold rings, ear-rings, necklaces and other gold things that people wear. They are gifts to remove our sins so that the Lord will forgive us.’

51Moses and Eleazar took all the gold things that the soldiers' officers and leaders brought to them.

52They weighed all the gold that was offered to the Lord. The weight was 16,750 shekels.

53The soldiers had also taken gold things from the enemy for themselves.

54Moses and Eleazar took the gold gifts from the soldiers' officers and leaders into the Tent of Meeting. It would help the Israelites to remember how the Lord had helped them.
