24And I separatedH914 twelve of the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethren with them, 25and I weighedH8254 to them the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627, the heave-offering for the houseH1004 of our 1GodH430, which the kingH4428 and his counsellors and his princesH8269, and all IsraelH3478 present, had offeredH7311. 26And I weighedH8254 into their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 a hundredH3967 talentsH3603, [and] of goldH2091 a hundredH3967 talentsH3603; 27and twentyH6242 basons of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 daricsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of shining copperH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091. 28And I saidH559 to them, Ye are holyH6944 unto Jehovah; the vesselsH3627 also are holyH6944; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 is a voluntary offeringH5071 to Jehovah the 2GodH430 of your fathersH1. 29WatchH8104 and keepH8104 [them] until ye weighH8254 them before the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and the chiefsH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambers of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 30And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 received by weightH4948 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our 3GodH430. 31And we departedH5265 from the riverH5104 AhavaH163 on the twelfth of the firstH7223 monthH2320, to go to JerusalemH3389; and the handH3027 of our 4GodH430 wasH1961 upon us, and he deliveredH5337 us from the handH3027 of the enemyH341, and of such as layH693 in waitH693 by the wayH1870. 32And we cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and abode there threeH7969 daysH3117. 33And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627 were weighedH8254 in the houseH1004 of our 5GodH430 into the handH3027 of MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of Urijah the priestH3548; and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them were JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131, LevitesH3881: 34the whole by numberH4557 and by weightH4948; and all the weightH4948 was writtenH3789 downH3789 at that timeH6256. 35The children of those that had been carried away, who had comeH935 out of the captivityH7628, presentedH7126 burnt-offerings to the 6GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelve bullocks for all IsraelH3478, ninety-six ramsH352, seventy-sevenH7657 lambsH3532, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 36And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satrapsH323, and to the governorsH6346 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104.
