14for that was given to the workmen who were repairing the house of the Lord with it. 15And athey did not ask for an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to pay out to the workmen, for they dealt honestly.

Ezra 8:24-34

Priests to Guard Offerings

24Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: bSherebiah, cHashabiah, and ten of their kinsmen with them. 25And I weighed out to them the dsilver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God that the king and his ecounselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered. 26 fI weighed out into their hand 650 talents
A  talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms
of silver, and silver vessels worth 200 talents,
Revocalization; the number is missing in the Masoretic Text
and 100 talents of gold,
2720 bowls of gold worth 1,000 darics,
A  daric was a coin weighing about 1/4 ounce or 8.5 grams
and two vessels of fine bright bronze as precious as gold.
28And I said to them, j“You are holy to the Lord, and kthe vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. 29Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers’ houses in Israel at Jerusalem, lwithin the chambers of the house of the Lord.” 30So the priests and the Levites mtook over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.

31Then we departed from the river Ahava non the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. oThe hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way. 32 pWe came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days. 33On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were qweighed into the hands of rMeremoth the priest, son of Uriah, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, sJozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of tBinnui. 34The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded.

John 13:29

29Some thought that, ubecause Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need vfor the feast,” or that he should wgive something to the poor.

19And not only that, but he has been xappointed by the churches to travel with us as we carry out this act of ygrace that is being ministered by us, zfor the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will. 20We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us, 21for aawe aim at what is honorable abnot only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.
