Ezra 8:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ Then I chose 12 of the priests who were leaders. They were Sherebiah and Hashabiah and 10 of their relatives. ²⁵ I weighed the offering of silver and gold. And I weighed the things given for the Temple of our God. I gave them to the 12 priests I had chosen. The king, the people who advised him, his officers and all the Israelites there with us had given these things for the Temple. ²⁶ I weighed out and gave them about 50,000 pounds of silver, about 7,500 pounds of silver objects and about 7,500 pounds of gold.
