43,000 gold talents of gold from Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver to overlay the walls of the houses— 5gold for golden objects and silver for silver for all the work—into the hands of craftsmen. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself this day to Adonai?” Then the leaders of the clans, the officials of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and hundreds and the supervisors over the king’s work contributed willingly. 7They gave for the service of the House of God: 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze and 100,000 talents of iron. 8Whoever possessed stones gave them to the treasury of the House of Adonai in the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
