Numbers 31:49

Moses
Faithfulness and loyalty

47 From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.

48 Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses

and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.

50 So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”

51 So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
