Ezra 8:23-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

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

²⁴ Then I set apart 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 and ^(E)his counselors and his princes and all Israel present there had offered.
