Ezra 8:26-30

261So I weighed into their hands 2650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth 3a hundred talents, and a hundred gold talents, 27and twenty gold bowls worth a thousand 4darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold. 28Then I said to them, “5You are holy to the Lord, and the 6utensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a 7voluntary offering to the Lord God of your fathers. 29Watch and keep them 8until 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 9accepted the weight of silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
