Ezra 8:25-34

25 and I ^aweighed out to them ^bthe silver, the gold and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king and ^chis counselors and his princes and all Israel present there had offered. 26 ^dThus I weighed into their hands 650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth 100 talents, and 100 gold talents, 27 and 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold. 28 Then I said to them, ^e“You are holy to the Lord, and the ^futensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord God of your fathers. 29 “Watch and keep them ^guntil you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites and the heads of the fathers’ households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.” 30 So the priests and the Levites ^haccepted the weighed out silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

31 Then we journeyed from ⁱthe river Ahava on ^jthe twelfth of the first month to go to Jerusalem; and ^kthe hand of our God was over us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the way. 32 ^lThus we came to Jerusalem and remained there three days.
