Ezra 8:31-33

Expanded Bible

³¹ On the twelfth day of the first month [^CApril 19] we left the Ahava ·Canal [River] ·and started toward [to travel/journey to] Jerusalem. The hand of our God ·helped us [was over us] and ·protected [saved; ^Tdelivered] us from enemies and ·robbers [ambushes] along the way. ³² Finally we arrived in Jerusalem where we ·rested [stayed] three days.

³³ On the fourth day we weighed out the silver, the gold, and the ·utensils [articles; vessels] in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of our God. We handed them to the priest Meremoth son of Uriah. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, as were the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.
