Ezra 8:24-30
Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,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.I weighed out to them 650 talents of silver, silver vessels worth 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two exquisite vessels of gleaming bronze, as valuable as gold.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.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.”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.
