We have brought an offering for the Lord, what every man has gotten of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and pendants, to make an atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”
When you take the census of the Israelites according to their number, then each man is to pay a ransom for his life to the Lord when you count them, so that there be no plague among them when you number them.
They came, both men and women, as many as had willing hearts, and brought brooches, earrings, rings and bracelets, all kinds of jewelry of gold, every man presenting an offering of gold to the Lord.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
