Ezra 8:21-30

21Then I proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 AhavaH163, that weH8033 might humble ourselvesH4480 beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245 of him a straightH3477 wayH1870, for usH5921, and for our littleH2945 onesH2945, and for allH3605 our substance.

22For I was ashamedH954 to askH7592 of the kingH4428 a band of soldiersH2428 and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826 usH5921 againstH5921 the enemyH341 in the wayH1870: becauseH3588 weH3588 had spokenH559 unto the kingH4428, sayingH559, The handH3027 of our GodH430 is uponH5921 allH3605 them that seekH1245 him, for goodH2896; but his powerH3027 and his wrathH639 is againstH5921 allH3605 them that forsakeH5800 him.

23SoH5921 we fastedH6684 and besought our GodH430 for this: and he was entreatedH6279 of usH5921.

24Then I separatedH914 twelveH6240 of the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, even SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethrenH251 with them,

25and weighedH8254 unto them the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, evenH853 the offering for the houseH1004 of our GodH430, whichH1004 the kingH4428, and his counsellors, and his princesH8269, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 there presentH4672, had offeredH7311:

26I evenH5921 weighedH8254 intoH5921 their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603; of goldH2091 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603;

27and twentyH6242 bowlsH3713 of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 daricsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of fine bright brassH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091.

28And I saidH559 unto them, Ye are holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068, and the vesselsH3627 are holyH6944; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a freewillH5071 offering unto the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1.

29WatchH8104 ye, and keepH8104 them, untilH5704 ye weighH8254 them beforeH6440 the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and the princesH8269 of the fathers’H1 housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

30SoH935 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 receivedH935 the weightH4948 of the silverH3701 and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
