Ezra 8:23-25

New American Standard Bible

²³ So we fasted and sought our God concerning this matter, and He ^[a](A)listened to our pleading.

²⁴ Then I selected twelve of the leading priests: ^(B)Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers; ²⁵ and I ^(C)weighed out to them ^(D)the silver, the gold, and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king, ^(E)his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present there had contributed.
