Ezra 8:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ So we ate no food and we prayed to our God about this. He answered our prayers.

²⁴ I chose 12 of the most important priests to do an important job, as well as Sherebiah, Hashabiah and ten of their brothers. ²⁵ I told them to take care of the valuable things that we had received for the temple of our God. These were silver and gold things and other special things that the king, his helpers and his officers had given to us. Israelite people who were living in Babylonia had also given us valuable things for the temple. I weighed all these things.
