offering: Heb. heave-offering, Numbers 31:52

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 i, were 7,780 ounces, four drachms, two scruples, and thirty five grains.

i Scheuchzer. Physica Sacr. vol. 2. p. 399.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The value of the offering was about 20,000 British pounds.
