Ezra 8:34-36

The Message

^32-34 We arrived in Jerusalem and waited there three days. On the fourth day the silver and gold and vessels were weighed out in The Temple of our God into the hands of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was there with him, also the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui. Everything was counted and weighed and the totals recorded.

³⁵ When they arrived, the exiles, now returned from captivity, offered Whole-Burnt-Offerings to the God of Israel:

All of this was sacrificed as a Whole-Burnt-Offering to God.

³⁶ They also delivered the king’s orders to the king’s provincial administration assigned to the land beyond the Euphrates. They, in turn, gave their support to the people and The Temple of God.
