Ezra 8:21-36

8:21

Then I proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

a fast
<06685>

there, at the river
<05104>

of Ahava
<0163>_,

that we might afflict
<06031> (8692)

ourselves before
<06440>

our God
<0430>_,

to seek
<01245> (8763)

of him a right
<03477>

way
<01870>

for us, and for our little ones
<02945>_,

and for all our substance
<07399>_.

8:22

For I was ashamed
<0954> (8804)

to require
<07592> (8800)

of the king
<04428>

a band of soldiers
<02428>

and horsemen
<06571>

to help
<05826> (8800)

us against the enemy
<0341> (8802)

in the way
<01870>_:

because we had spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The hand
<03027>

of our God
<0430>

[is] upon all them for good
<02896>

that seek
<01245> (8764)

him; but his power
<05797>

and his wrath
<0639>

[is] against all them that forsake
<05800> (8802)

him.

8:23

So we fasted
<06684> (8799)

and besought
<01245> (8762)

our God
<0430>

for this: and he was intreated
<06279> (8735)

of us.

8:24

Then I separated
<0914> (8686)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

of the chief
<08269>

of the priests
<03548>_,

Sherebiah
<08274>_,

Hashabiah
<02811>_,

and ten
<06235>

of their brethren
<0251>

with them,

8:25

And weighed
<08254> (8799)

unto them the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the vessels
<03627>_,

[even] the offering
<08641>

of the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_,

which the king
<04428>_,

and his counsellors
<03289> (8802)_,

and his lords
<08269>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

[there] present
<04672> (8737)_,

had offered
<07311> (8689)_:

8:26

I even weighed
<08254> (8799)

unto their hand
<03027>

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_,

and silver
<03701>

vessels
<03627>

an hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>_,

[and] of gold
<02091>

an hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>_;

8:27

Also twenty
<06242>

basons
<03713>

of gold
<02091>_,

of a thousand
<0505>

drams
<0150>_;

and two
<08147>

vessels
<03627>

of fine
<02896> <06668> (8716)

copper
<05178>_,

precious
<02532>

as gold
<02091>_.

{fine...: Heb. yellow, or, shining brass} {precious: Heb. desirable}

8:28

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye [are] holy
<06944>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

the vessels
<03627>

[are] holy
<06944>

also; and the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

[are] a freewill offering
<05071>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_.

8:29

Watch
<08245> (8798)

ye, and keep
<08104> (8798)

[them], until ye weigh
<08254> (8799)

[them] before
<06440>

the chief
<08269>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and chief
<08269>

of the fathers
<01>

of Israel
<03478>_,

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

in the chambers
<03957>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:30

So took
<06901> (8765)

the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

the weight
<04948>

of the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the vessels
<03627>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

[them] to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_.

8:31

Then we departed
<05265> (8799)

from the river
<05104>

of Ahava
<0163>

on the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

[day] of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

to go
<03212> (8800)

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and the hand
<03027>

of our God
<0430>

was upon us, and he delivered
<05337> (8686)

us from the hand
<03709>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

and of such as lay in wait
<0693> (8802)

by the way
<01870>_.

8:32

And we came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

8:33

Now on the fourth
<07243>

day
<03117>

was the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

and the vessels
<03627>

weighed
<08254> (8738)

in the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>

by the hand
<03027>

of Meremoth
<04822>

the son
<01121>

of Uriah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>_;

and with him [was] Eleazar
<0499>

the son
<01121>

of Phinehas
<06372>_;

and with them [was] Jozabad
<03107>

the son
<01121>

of Jeshua
<03442>_,

and Noadiah
<05129>

the son
<01121>

of Binnui
<01131>_,

Levites
<03881>_;

8:34

By number
<04557>

[and] by weight
<04948>

of every one: and all the weight
<04948>

was written
<03789> (8735)

at that time
<06256>_.

8:35

[Also] the children
<01121>

of those that had been carried away
<01473>_,

which were come out
<0935> (8802)

of the captivity
<07628>_,

offered
<07126> (8689)

burnt offerings
<05930>

unto the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

twelve
<08147> <06240>

bullocks
<06499>

for all Israel
<03478>_,

ninety
<08673>

and six
<08337>

rams
<0352>_,

seventy
<07657>

and seven
<07651>

lambs
<03532>_,

twelve
<08147> <06240>

he goats
<06842>

[for] a sin offering
<02403>_:

all [this was] a burnt offering
<05930>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

8:36

And they delivered
<05414> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

commissions
<01881>

unto the king's
<04428>

lieutenants
<0323>_,

and to the governors
<06346>

on this side
<05676>

the river
<05104>_:

and they furthered
<05375> (8765)

the people
<05971>_,

and the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.
