Haydock's commentary
His own. Gold, and such ornaments as might easily be concealed by the soldiers, where not required to be brought to the common stock to be equally divided. (Calmet)
There were 840,000 head of living creatures, including the 32,000 virgins, which were distributed. The gold, which was voluntarily presented to the Lord, amounted to above five talents. (Salien, B.C. 1470.)
The princes made a voluntary offering of their gold, but the common soldiers retained what each man had gotten. (Du Hamel)
