²⁷ And I gave them 20 gold bowls. The bowls weighed about 19 pounds.^[a] And I gave them two beautiful dishes made from polished bronze that were as valuable as gold. ²⁸ Then I said to the twelve priests: “You and these things are holy to the Lord. People gave this silver and gold to the Lord, the God of your ancestors. ²⁹ So guard these things carefully. You are responsible for them until you give them to the Temple leaders in Jerusalem. You will give them to the leading Levites and the family leaders of Israel. They will weigh them and put them in the rooms of the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem.”
