Numbers 31:46-51
English Standard Version
Chapter 31
46and 16,000 persons — 47from the people of Israel 's half Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who kept guard over the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
48Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, came near to Moses
49and said to Moses, "Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.
50And we have brought the Lord 's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord."
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold, all crafted articles.
