Ezra 2:68-70

Modern English Version

⁶⁸ As some of the heads of households came to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, they volunteered to erect the foundations for the house of God. ⁶⁹ They gave after their ability to the treasure of the work sixty-one thousand drachmas^[a] of gold, five thousand pounds^[b] of silver, and one hundred priestly garments.

⁷⁰ So the priests and the Levites, along with some of the people, the singers, the porters, and those donated as temple servants, lived in their cities, with the result that all Israel resettled in their cities.
