Numbers 31:48-50

Good News Translation

⁴⁸ Then the officers who had commanded the army went to Moses ⁴⁹ and reported, “Sir, we have counted the soldiers under our command and not one of them is missing. ⁵⁰ So we are bringing the gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces that each of us has taken. We offer them to the Lord as a payment for our lives, so that he will protect us.”
