Ezra 8:24-30

24Then I set apart twelve of the leading kohanim—Sherebiah, Hashabiah and with them ten of their brothers—

25and I weighed out for them the silver, the gold and the utensils, the contribution to the House of our God that the king, his counselors, his officials and all Israel who were present had offered.

26Specifically, I weighed into their hand 650 talents of silver, silver utensils worth 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,

2720 golden bowels valued at 1000 darics, and two exquisite vessels of gleaming bronze, as precious as gold.

28Then I said to them, “You are holy to Adonai and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a freewill offering to Adonai, the God of your fathers.

29Guard them carefully until you weigh them before the leading kohanim and the Levites and the leading patriarchs of Israel in Jerusalem, in the storerooms of the House of Adonai.”

30So the kohanim and the Levites received the silver, the gold and the vessels by weight to bring them to Jerusalem to the House of our God.
