- and 16,000 people.
- From the Israelites' half, Moses selected one out of every fifty persons and animals, as the LORD commanded him, and gave them to the Levites, who were responsible for the care of the LORD's tabernacle.
- Then the officers who were over the units of the army--the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds--went to Moses
- and said to him, "Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one is missing.
- So we have brought as an offering to the LORD the gold articles each of us acquired--armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces--to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."

- and the human beings were 16,000--
- and from the sons of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animals, and gave them to the Levites, who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
- Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, approached Moses,
- and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken a census of men of war who are in our charge, and no man of us is missing.
- "So we have brought as an offering to the LORD what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."
