42As for the sonsH1121 of Israel’sH3478 halfH4276, whichH834 MosesH4872 10separatedH2673 from the menH376 who had goneH6633 toH6633 warH6633-- 43now the congregation’sH5712 halfH4275 was 337,500H7969H3967H505H7970H7651H2568 sheepH6629, 44thirty-sixH8337H7970 thousandH505 cattleH1241, 4530,500H7970H505H2568H3967 donkeysH2543, 46and the captive peopleH5315H120 were sixteenH8337H6240 thousandH505-- 47from the sonsH1121 of Israel’sH3478 halfH4276 MosesH4872 tookH3947 oneH259 drawnH270 from every fiftyH2572, bothH4480 of peopleH120 and of animalsH929, and gaveH5414 them to the LevitesH3881, who performedH8104 the dutyH4931 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LordH3068, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.

48Then the officersH6485 whoH834 were over the thousandsH505 of the armyH6635, the commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and the commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967, approachedH7126 MosesH4872, 49and they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “Your servantsH5650 have takenH5375 a censusH7218 of the menH376 of warH4421 whoH834 are 11under our authorityH3027, and noH3808 manH376 of us isH6485 missingH6485. 50So we have broughtH7126 as an offeringH7133 to the LordH3068 whatH834 eachH376 manH376 foundH4672, articlesH3627 of goldH2091, armletsH685 and braceletsH6781, signetH2885 ringsH2885, earringsH5694, and necklacesH3558, 12to makeH3722 atonementH3722 for ourselvesH5315 beforeH6440 the LordH3068.” 51MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the goldH2091 from them, allH3605 kinds of craftedH4639 articlesH3627. 52AllH3605 the goldH2091 of the offeringH8641 whichH834 they offeredH7311 upH7311 to the LordH3068, from the commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and the commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967, was 16,750H8337H6240H505H7651H3967H2572 shekelsH8255. 5313The menH376 of warH6635 had takenH962 plunderH962, everyH376 manH376 for himself. 54So MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the goldH2091 from the commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, and broughtH935 it to the tentH168 of meetingH4150 as 14a memorialH2146 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the LordH3068.
