21 Then Eleazar wea priest sei lo olketa man wea joinim army wea go lo faet: “Diswan nao law wea Jehovah talem lo Moses, 22 ‘Iufala mas tekem gold, silver, copper, iron, tin,* and led,* 23 evri samting wea fire no savve spoelem, iufala mas putim insaed fire for hem kamap klin.

25 Then Jehovah sei lo Moses: 26 “Raetem list blo evri gud samting wea iufala tekem kam bak from faet, olketa prisoner and olketa animal tu.
