Numbers 31:53 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 31:53

For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.
] And which he kept for himself, and did not deliver in with the prey or booty, which was brought to Moses and Eleazar, the sum of which was taken by them; and this seems to confirm what has been hinted, that, as each soldier had taken spoil for himself, so everyone contributed his quota towards this freewill offering to the Lord.
