Like the Sages, other Jewish researchers understood this. Rabbi Hertz for example, wrote in the commentary to Exodus 30 that the term, “to atone for your souls” is an expansion on the meaning of the word “ransom”. Rabbi Hertz explains it this way: “Money paid by the man who is guilty of taking the life of another, under circumstances other than murder.” Jewish Bible Scholar, Jacob Milgrom, in his interpretation to Numbers 31, wrote: “In God’s eyes, the ransom is a necessary preventative step against a plague that could attack the people due to a census.” The Rashbam, Rashi’s grandson, said the same things over 800 years ago. So even the Sages and other Jewish scholars recognize that this refers to ransom money for protection, and not to atonement for sins, as the Sages themselves testify.
