Ezra 8:25-27

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁵ I weighed the silver, gold, and the other things that were given for God’s Temple. I gave them to the twelve priests I had chosen. King Artaxerxes, his advisors, his important officials, and all the Israelites in Babylon gave those things for God’s Temple. ²⁶ I weighed all these things. There were 25 tons^[a] of silver. There were also 7500 pounds^[b] of silver dishes and things. There were 3 3/4 tons of gold. ²⁷ And I gave them 20 gold bowls. The bowls weighed about 19 pounds.^[c] And I gave them two beautiful dishes made from polished bronze that were as valuable as gold.
