Ezra 8:25-30
8:25 and I weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels intended for the temple of our God – items that the king, his advisers, his officials, and all Israel who were present had contributed.
8:26 I weighed out to them
650 talents of silver, silver vessels worth 100 talents,
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.
8:29 Be careful with them and protect them, until you weigh them out before the leading priests and the Levites and the family leaders of Israel in Jerusalem,
in the storerooms of the temple of the
Lord.”
8:30 Then the priests and the Levites took charge of the silver, the gold, and the vessels that had been weighed out, to transport them to Jerusalem to the temple of our God.
Ezra 8:33-34
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.
