Ezra 8:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ I sent them to Iddo, head of the community at Casiphia, to ask him and his associates, the Temple workers, to send us people to serve God in the Temple. ¹⁸ Through God's grace they sent us Sherebiah, an able man, a Levite from the clan of Mahli; and eighteen of his sons and brothers came with him. ¹⁹ They also sent Hashabiah and Jeshaiah of the clan of Merari, with twenty of their relatives.
