Ezra 8:27-30

27 20 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. 28 And I said to them, ^b“You are holy to the Lord, and ^cthe vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. 29 Guard 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, ^dwithin the chambers of the house of the Lord.” 30 So the priests and the Levites ^etook over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.

Ezra 8:33-34

33 On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were ^fweighed into the hands of ^gMeremoth the priest, son of Uriah, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, ^hJozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of ⁱBinnui. 34 The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded.
