So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.(Ezra 8:23)

Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,(Ezra 8:24)

And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:(Ezra 8:25)

Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.(Ezra 8:27)

And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.(Ezra 8:28)

Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.(Ezra 8:29)
