Ezra 8:31-36

31Then we journeyed from 1the river Ahava on 2the twelfth of the first month to go to Jerusalem; and 3the hand of our God was over us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the way. 324Thus we came to Jerusalem and remained there three days. 33On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the utensils 5were weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of 6Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui. 34Everything was numbered and weighed, and all the weight was recorded at that time.

357The exiles who had come from the captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 812 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, 12 male goats for a sin offering, all as a burnt offering to the Lord. 36Then 9they delivered the king’s edicts to 10the king’s satraps and to the governors in the provinces beyond the 11River, and they supported the people and the house of God.
