וַתְּהִי מֶחֱצַת הָעֵדָה מִן־הַצֹּאן שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
The community’s half consisted of 337,500 sheep,

ותהי מחצת העדה. כָּךְ וְכָךְ:
The community’s half consisted of. So much and so much.

וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה מִמַּחֲצִת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הָֽאָחֻז אֶחָד מִן־הַחֲמִשִּׁים מִן־הָאָדָם וּמִן־הַבְּהֵמָה וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָם לַלְוִיִּם שֹֽׁמְרֵי מִשְׁמֶרֶת מִשְׁכַּן יְהֹוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃
Moshe took from Bnei Yisroel’s half, one part out of the fifty, from the people and from the animals, and gave them to the Levites who are entrusted with the Mishkon of Adonoy; as Adonoy had commanded Moshe.

Rashi
ויקח משה וגו'.
Moshe took, etc.
וַֽיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה הַפְּקֻדִים אֲשֶׁר לְאַלְפֵי הַצָּבָא שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמֵּאֽוֹת׃
The army officers approached Moshe—the officers who were over divisions of the thousands and the officers of the thousands, and the officers of the hundreds.
The army officers approached Moshe—the officers who were over divisions of the thousands and the officers of the thousands, and the officers of the hundreds.
Rashi
הפקדים. הַמְמֻנִּים:
The officers. Those who were appointed.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה עֲבָדֶיךָ נָֽשְׂאוּ אֶת־רֹאשׁ אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדֵנוּ וְלֹא־נִפְקַד מִמֶּנּוּ אִֽישׁ׃
And they said to Moshe: “Your servants have taken a census of the soldiers who went out to war and not one of us is missing.
And they said to Moshe: “Your servants have taken a census of the soldiers who went out to war and not one of us is missing.
Rashi
ולא נפקד. לֹא נֶחְסַר, וְתַרְגּוּמוֹ "לָא שְׁגָא", אַף הוּא בִּלְשׁוֹן אֲרַמִי חִסָּרוֹן, כְּמוֹ "אָנֹכִי אֲחַטֶּנָּה" (בראשית ל"א) תַרְגּוּמוֹ "דַּהֲוַת שָׁגְיָא מִמִּנְיָנָא", וְכֵן "כִּי יִפָּקֵד מוֹשָׁבֶךָ" (שמואל א כ') — יֶחְסַר מְקוֹם מוֹשָׁבְךָ, אִישׁ הָרָגִיל לֵישֵׁב שָׁם, וְכֵן "וַיִּפָּקֵד מְקוֹם דָּוִד" (שם) — נֶחְסַר מְקוֹמוֹ וְאֵין אִישׁ יוֹשֵׁב שָׁם:
וְלֹא־נִפְקַד . Not [a man is] missing. Targum [Onkelos] renders לֹא שְׁגָא . This (שְׁגָא), too, denotes, in Aramaic, “missing,” like “I [will suffer] its loss,” rendered by Targum, דַּהֲוָת שָׁגְיָא מִמִּנְיָנָא, “whatever is missing from the tally.” Similarly, “for your seat will be missing” — your seating place will be missing, the one who usually sits there. Similarly, “ וַיִפָּקֵד מְקוֹם דָּוִד,” his place was missing — and no one was sitting there.
וַנַּקְרֵב אֶת־קׇרְבַּן יְהֹוָה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר מָצָא כְלִֽי־זָהָב אֶצְעָדָה וְצָמִיד טַבַּעַת עָגִיל וְכוּמָז לְכַפֵּר עַל־נַפְשֹׁתֵינוּ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃
We have therefore brought an offering for Adonoy. Any man who found a gold article—an anklet, or a bracelet, a ring, earring or clasp [has dedicated it for Adonoy] to atone for ourselves before Adonoy.”

Rashi
אצעדה. אֵלּוּ צְמִידִים שֶׁל רֶגֶל:
Anklet. This refers to leg bands.
וצמיד. שֶׁל יָד:
Bracelet. On the arm.
עגיל. נִזְמֵי אֹזֶן:
Ring. Ear rings.
וכומז. דְּפוּס שֶׁל בֵּית הָרֶחֶם, לְכַפֵּר הִרְהוּר הַלֵּב שֶׁל בְּנוֹת מִדְיָן (שבת ס"ד):
Clasp. Shaped around the crotch, to atone for their sinful thoughts concerning the daughters of Midian.
וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַזָּהָב מֵֽאִתָּם כֹּל כְּלִי מַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
Moshe and Elozor the kohein took the gold from them, every fashioned article.

וַיְהִי ׀ כׇּל־זְהַב הַתְּרוּמָה אֲשֶׁר הֵרִימוּ לַֽיהֹוָה שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר אֶלֶף שְׁבַע־מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁקֶל מֵאֵת שָׂרֵי הָֽאֲלָפִים וּמֵאֵת שָׂרֵי הַמֵּאֽוֹת׃
All the gold of the offering that they set apart for Adonoy was 16,750 shekolim, from the officers who were over divisions of the thousands and from the officers who were over divisions of the hundreds.

The men of war, took booty for themselves.

וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַזָּהָב מֵאֵת שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וְהַמֵּאוֹת וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד זִכָּרוֹן לִבְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ {פ}
Moshe and Elozor the kohein took the gold from the officers who were over divisions of the thousands and the hundreds, and they brought it to the Tent of Meeting as a remembrance for Bnei Yisroel before Adonoy.

וממחצית בני ישראל אשר חצה משה. לָעֵדָה, וְהוֹצִיאָהּ לָהֶם מן האנשים הצבאים:
From the half [designated] for Bnei Yisroel that Moshe divided. For the community, by appropriating it for them from the military men.
