SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:54
Recibieron, pues, Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar, el oro de los tribunos y centuriones, y lo trajeron al tabernáculo del testimonio, por memoria de los hijos de Israel delante del SEÑOR.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 54. And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds , etc.] Which they so freely and generously offered: and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation ; and laid it up in some chamber there: for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord : in remembrance of the signal victory these men obtained, and of the singular care of divine Providence in protecting them, that not one was lost in the expedition; and of their sense of gratitude and thankfulness for the favours granted them, and to put the children of Israel in mind for their imitation, when favoured with mercies from the Lord.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 48-54 - The success of the Israelites had been very remarkable, so small company overcoming such multitudes, but it was still more wonderfu that not one was slain or missing. They presented the gold they foun among the spoils, as an offering to the Lord. Thus they confessed, tha instead of claiming a reward for their service, they needed forgivenes of much that had been amiss, and desired to be thankful for the preservation of their lives, which might justly have been taken away __________________________________________________________________
