Context
8:31 On the twelfth day of the first month we began traveling from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem . The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from our enemy and from bandits along the way .
8:32 So we came to Jerusalem , and we stayed there for three days .
8:33 On the fourth day we weighed out the silver , the gold , and the vessels in the house of our God into the care of Meremoth son of Uriah , the priest , and Eleazar son of Phinehas , who were accompanied by Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui , who were Levites .
8:34 Everything was verified by number and by weight , and the total weight was written down at that time .
8:35 The exiles who were returning from the captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel – twelve bulls for all Israel , ninety-six rams , seventy-seven male lambs , along with twelve male goats as a sin offering . All this was a burnt offering to the Lord .
8:36 Then they presented the decrees of the king to the king’s satraps and to the governors of Trans-Euphrates , who gave help to the people and to the temple of God .
