27 20 gold bowls weighing 19 pounds;[a] and 2 shiny copper vessels (as valuable as gold).
Ezra (commissioning the priests and Levites): 28 Everything dedicated to Him is holy to the Eternal: you, the vessels for the temple, and the silver and gold for the freewill offering to the Eternal God of our ancestors. 29 Guard these things until you reach the rooms of the Eternal’s temple. There, the head priests, the Levites, and the tribal leaders already living in Jerusalem will weigh them and make sure the same amount reached the temple as left Babylon.
