25and I 1weighedH8254 outH8254 to them 2the silverH3701, the goldH2091, and the utensilsH3627, the offeringH8641 for the houseH1004 of our GodH430 which the kingH4428, 3his counselorsH3289, his officialsH8269, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 who wereH4672 presentH4672 there had contributedH7311. 264So I weighedH8254 into their handsH3027 5650H8337H3967H2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 utensilsH3627 worth 6a hundredH3967 talentsH3603, and a hundredH3967 goldH2091 talentsH3603, 27and twentyH6242 goldH2091 bowlsH3713 worth a thousandH505 7daricsH150, and twoH8147 utensilsH3627 of fineH2896 shinyH6668 bronzeH5178, preciousH2536 as goldH2091. 28Then I saidH559 to them, “8You are holyH6944 to the LordH3068, and the 9utensilsH3627 are holyH6944; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a 10voluntaryH5071 offeringH5071 to the LordH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1. 29WatchH8245 and keepH8104 them 11untilH5704 you weighH8254 them beforeH6440 the leadingH8269 priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and the leadersH8269 of the fathers’H1 households of IsraelH3478 in JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 30So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 12acceptedH6901 the weightH4948 of silverH3701 and goldH2091 and the utensilsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 to the houseH1004 of our GodH430.

31Then we journeyedH5265 from 13the riverH5104 AhavaH163 on 14the twelfthH8147H6240 of the firstH7223 monthH2320 to goH1980 to JerusalemH3389; and 15the handH3027 of our GodH430 was upon us, and He rescuedH5337 us from the handH3709 of the enemyH340 and the ambushesH693 by the roadH1870. 3216So we cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 and remainedH3427 thereH8033 for threeH7969 daysH3117. 33And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 the silverH3701, the goldH2091, and the utensilsH3627 17were weighedH8254 outH8254 in the houseH1004 of our GodH430 into the handH3027 of 18MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of UriahH223 the priestH3548, and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them were the LevitesH3881, JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3091 and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131. 34A notation was made for everythingH3605 by numberH4557 and weightH4948, and allH3605 the weightH4948 was recordedH3789 at that timeH6256.
