Gifts for the Temple

24 And I separated twelve of the leaders of the priests—Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them—
25 and weighed out to them athe silver, the gold, and the articles, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his princes, and all Israel who were present, had offered.  
26 I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, silver articles weighing one hundred talents, one hundred talents of gold,
27 twenty gold basins worth a thousand drachmas, and two vessels of fine polished bronze, precious as gold.
28 And I said to them, “You are aholy to the Lord; the articles are bholy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord God of your fathers.  
29 Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leaders of the priests and the Levites and aheads of the fathers’ houses of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.”  
30 So the priests and the Levites received the silver and the gold and the articles by weight, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

The Return to Jerusalem

31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. And athe hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road.  
32 So we acame to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.  
33 Now on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the articles were aweighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; with them were the Levites, bJozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui,  
34 with the number and weight of everything. All the weight was written down at that time.
35 The children of those who had been acarried away captive, who had come from the captivity, boffered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the Lord.  
36 And they delivered the king’s aorders to the king’s satraps and the governors in the region beyond1 the River. So they gave support to the people and the2 house of God.
