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 upon us, and He rescued us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the road. 324So we came to Jerusalem and remained there for three days. 33And on the fourth day the silver, 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. 34A notation was made for everything by number and weight, 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: 8twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve 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 the governors in the provinces beyond the Euphrates River, and they supported the people and the house of God.
