New English Translation

³¹ On the twelfth day of the first month we began traveling from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from our enemies and from bandits^[a] along the way. ³² So we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days. ³³ On the fourth day we weighed out the silver, the gold, and the vessels in the house of our God into the care^[b] of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest, and Eleazar son of Phinehas, who were accompanied by Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui, who were Levites.
