25 and I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels which were dedicated to the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his chiefs, and all the Israelites there, had dedicated;
26 I weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver and a hundred talents of gold,
27 and twenty gilt cups, worth about a thousand drachms, and vessels of fine burnished brass, precious as gold,
28 and said to them, You are holy to the Lord, and these vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.
29 Watch and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the families in Jerusalem, into the tabernacles of the house of the Lord.
30 And when the priests and the Levites had taken the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels to carry them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God,
31 we removed from the river Avue, on the twelfth of the first month, to come to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was with us, and delivered us from the hand of enemies, and of such as lay in wait on the way.
32 And when we came to Jerusalem, and had rested three days,
33 we, on the fourth day, delivered the silver and gold and vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth, son of Ouria the priest, when there was with him, Eleazar son of Phineas, and with them Jozabad, son of Jesus, and Noadia, son of Banaia, the Levites,
34 all by number and by weight, and the whole weight was taken down in writing.
35 At that time, they who came from the captivity, the children of them who had been carried away, offered as whole burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve young bulls for all Israel, ninety six rams, seventy seven lambs, twelve goats, for a sin offering. All these were whole burnt offerings to the Lord.
