Numbers 31:49-54

49and said to him, “Your servants have taken a count of the men who were in the battle, who were under our authority, and not one is missing.

50So we have brought as an offering for the Lord what each man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”

51Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all of it in the form of ornaments.

52All the gold of the offering they offered up to the Lord from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds weighed 16,750 shekels.

53Each soldier had taken plunder for himself.

54So Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord.
