8:26 I weighed out to them 1 650 talents of silver, silver vessels worth 100 talents, 2 100 talents of gold,
8:27 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two exquisite vessels of gleaming bronze, as valuable as gold.
8:28 Then I said to them, “You are holy to the Lord, just as these vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers.
