Numbers 31:52 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 31:52

And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the
Lord
The whole amount, weight, and value of it put together:

even of the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds,
and perhaps of every common soldier, who might contribute his part, though it is not mentioned, but included in the oblation of the officers:

was 16,750 shekels;
which, according to the calculation of a very learned man F9, were 7,780 ounces, four drachms, two scruples, and thirty five grains.

Numbers 31:52 In-Context

50 ob hanc causam offerimus in donariis Domini singuli quod in praeda auri potuimus invenire periscelides et armillas anulos et dextralia ac murenulas ut depreceris pro nobis Dominum
51 susceperuntque Moses et Eleazar sacerdos omne aurum in diversis speciebus
52 pondo sedecim milia septingentos quinquaginta siclos a tribunis et centurionibus
53 unusquisque enim quod in praeda rapuerat suum erat
54 et susceptum intulerunt in tabernaculum testimonii in monumentum filiorum Israhel coram Domino
