THE RETURN TO YERU SHALEM
And I gather them to the river that runs to Ahava; and we encamp there three days: and I discern the people and the priests and find none of the sons of Levi: 16 and I send for Eli Ezer, for Ari El, for Shema Yah and for El Nathan and for Yarib and for El Nathan and for Nathan and for Zechar Yah and for Meshullam - heads; and for Yah Yarib and for El Nathan - discerners: 17 and I misvah them to Iddo the head at the place Kasiphia: and I set in their mouth what words to word to Iddo and to his brothers the Dedicates at the place Kasiphia: to bring us ministers for the house of our Elohim. 18 And by the good hand of our Elohim on us they bring us a man of comprehension of the sons of Machli, the son of Levi, the son of Yisra El; and Shereb Yah, with his sons and his brothers - eighteen; 19 and Hashab Yah and with him Yesha Yah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons - twenty; 20 and of the Dedicates whom David and the governors gave for the service of the Leviym - two hundred and twenty Dedicates: - all appointed by name. 21 And I call a fast there at the river of Ahava to humble ourselves at the face of our Elohim - to seek of him a straight way for us and for our toddlers and for all our acquisition: 22 for I shame to ask the sovereign for men of valour and cavalry to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had said to the sovereign, saying, The hand of our Elohim is on all who seek him for good; but his strength and his wrath is against all who forsake him: 23 and we fast and beseech our Elohim for this: and he is intreated of us. 24 And I separate twelve of the governors of the priests - Shereb Yah, Hashab Yah and ten of their brothers with them; 25 and weighed to them the silver and the gold and the instruments and an exaltment of the house of our Elohim which the sovereign and his counsellors and his governors and all Yisra El present, lifted: 26 and I weigh to their hand six hundred and fifty rounds of silver and silver instruments a hundred rounds; of gold a hundred rounds 27 and twenty tankards of gold of a thousand darics and two instruments of best yellow copper as desirable as gold. 28 And I say to them, You are holy to Yah Veh; and the instruments are holy; and the silver and the gold are a voluntary to Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers: 29 Watch and guard them until you weigh them at the face of the governor of the priests and the Leviym; and governor of the fathers of Yisra El at Yeru Shalem in the chambers of the house of Yah Veh. 30 And the priests and the Leviym take the weight of the silver and the gold and the instruments, to bring them to Yeru Shalem to the house of our Elohim. 31 And we pull stakes from the river of Ahava on the twelfth of the first month to go to Yeru Shalem: and the hand of our Elohim is on us and he rescues us from the palm of the enemy and of such as lurk by the way: 32 and we come to Yeru Shalem and settle there three days: 33 and on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the instruments are weighed in the house of our Elohim by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uri Yah the priest; and with him is El Azar the son of Pinechas; and with them is Yah Zabad the son of Yah Shua and Noad Yah the son of Binnuy - Leviym; 34 by number and by weight of every one: and all the weight is inscribed at that time. 35 They, the sons of the exile, who came from the captivity oblated holocausts to Elohim of Yisra El - twelve bullocks for all Yisra El, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve buck goats for the sin: all this - a holocaust to Yah Veh: 36 and they give the edicts of the sovereign to the satraps of the sovereign and to the governors on this side the river: and they lift the people and the house of Elohim.
