25and I 1weighedH8254 out to them 2the silverH3701, the goldH2091 and the utensilsH3627, the offeringH8641 for the houseH1004 of our GodH430 which the kingH4428 and 3his counselorsH3289 and his princesH8269 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 presentH4672 there had offeredH7311. 264Thus I weighedH8254 into their handsH3027 650H8337H3967H2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 utensilsH3627 worth 100H3967 talentsH3603, and 100H3967 goldH2091 talentsH3603, 27and 20H6242 goldH2091 bowlsH3713 worth 1,000H505 daricsH150, and twoH8147 utensilsH3627 of fineH2896 shinyH6668 bronzeH5178, preciousH2536 as goldH2091. 28Then I saidH559 to them, “5You are holyH6944 to the LordH3068, and the 6utensilsH3627 are holyH6944; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a freewillH5071 offeringH5071 to the LordH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1. 29WatchH8245 and keepH8104 them 7untilH5704 you weighH8254 them beforeH6440 the leadingH8269 priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881 and the headsH8269 of the fathers’H1 households of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 30So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 8acceptedH6901 the weighedH4948 out silverH3701 and goldH2091 and the utensilsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 to the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
