Ezra 8:27-29

Good News Translation

^26-27 This is what I gave them:

• silver - 25 tons
• 100 silver utensils - 150 pounds
• gold - 7,500 pounds
• 20 gold bowls - 270 ounces
• fine bronze bowls, equal in value to gold bowls

²⁸ I said to them, “You are sacred to the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and so are all the silver and gold utensils brought to him as freewill offerings. ²⁹ Guard them carefully until you reach the Temple. There in the priests' rooms weigh them and turn them over to the leaders of the priests and of the Levites, and to the leaders of the people of Israel in Jerusalem.”
