Ezra 8:26-28

New English Translation

²⁶ I weighed out to them:^[a] 650 talents of silver, silver vessels worth 100 talents,^[b] 100 talents of gold, ²⁷ 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and 2 exquisite vessels of gleaming bronze, as valuable as gold. ²⁸ 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.
