Numbers 31:50
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
The offering of gold was brought after Israel's victory over the Midianites in the war of divine judgment. The Midianites had seduced Israel into sin at the Jordan, and their defeat was inflicted as punishment for that attack upon God's people. The gifts of chains, bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets therefore belong to the close of the Midianite judgment, when the spoils of a punished seducer were presented before the Lord.
