25And weighedH8254 unto them the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, even the offeringH8641 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, which the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and his lordsH8269, and all IsraelH3478 there presentH4672, had offeredH7311: 26I even weighedH8254 unto their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603, and of goldH2091 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603; 27Also twentyH6242 basonsH3713 of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 dramsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of fineH6668H2896 copperH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091.12 28And I saidH559 unto them, Ye are holyH6944 unto YhwhH3068; the vesselsH3627 are holyH6944 also; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a freewill offeringH5071 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1. 29WatchH8245 ye, and keepH8104 them, until ye weighH8254 them beforeH6440 the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 30So tookH6901 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 the weightH4948 of the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
31Then we departedH5265 from the riverH5104 of AhavaH163 on the twelfthH6240H8147 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, to goH3212 unto JerusalemH3389: and the handH3027 of our GodH430 was upon us, and he deliveredH5337 us from the handH3709 of the enemyH341, and of such as lay in waitH693 by the wayH1870. 32And we cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and abodeH3427 there threeH7969 daysH3117.
33Now on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 was the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627 weighedH8254 in the houseH1004 of our GodH430 by the handH3027 of MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of UriahH223 the priestH3548; and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them was JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131, LevitesH3881; 34By numberH4557 and by weightH4948 of every one: and all the weightH4948 was writtenH3789 at that timeH6256. 35Also the childrenH1121 of those that had been carried awayH1473, which were come outH935 of the captivityH7628, offeredH7126 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelveH6240H8147 bullocksH6499 for all IsraelH3478, ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 ramsH352, seventyH7657 and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, twelveH6240H8147 he goatsH6842 for a sin offeringH2403: all this was a burnt offeringH5930 unto YhwhH3068.
