Ezra 8:24-30

24Then I selected twelve of the leading priests: 1Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers; 25and I 2weighed out to them 3the silver, the gold, and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king, 4his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present there had contributed. 265So I weighed into their hands 6650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth 7a hundred talents, and a hundred gold talents, 27and twenty gold bowls worth a thousand 8darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold. 28Then I said to them, “9You are holy to the Lord, and the 10utensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a 11voluntary offering to the Lord God of your fathers. 29Watch and keep them 12until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers’ households of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.” 30So the priests and the Levites 13accepted the weight of silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
