48 The army commanders went to Moses
49 and said, “Sir, we have counted our troops, and not one soldier is missing.
50 So we want to give the Lord all the gold jewelry we took from the Midianites. It's our gift to him for watching over us and our troops.”
51 Moses and Eleazar accepted the jewelry from the commanders,
52 and its total weight was over 200 kilograms.
53 This did not include the things that the soldiers had kept for themselves.
54 So Moses and Eleazar placed the gold in the Lord's sacred tent to remind Israel of what had happened.
