Ezra 8:24-34

24And I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

25and I weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the heave-offering for the house of our 1God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered.

26And I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver; and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;

27and twenty basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, precious as gold.

28And I said to them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah; the vessels also are holy; and the silver and the gold is a voluntary offering to Jehovah the 2God of your fathers.

29Watch and keep [them] until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.

30And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our 3God.

31And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our 4God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

32And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

33And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our 5God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Urijah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites:

34the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written down at that time.
