Ezra 8:34-36

Living Bible

³⁴ A receipt was given for each item, and the weight of the gold and silver was noted.

³⁵ Then everyone in our party sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel—twelve oxen for the nation of Israel; ninety-six rams; seventy-seven lambs; and twelve goats as a sin offering. ³⁶ The king’s decrees were delivered to his lieutenants and the governors of all the provinces west of the Euphrates River, and of course they then cooperated in the rebuilding of the Temple of God.
