Ezra 8:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁴ Then I chose twelve of the priests who were leaders. I chose Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers. ²⁵ I weighed the silver, gold, and the other things that were given for God’s Temple. I gave them to the twelve priests I had chosen. King Artaxerxes, his advisors, his important officials, and all the Israelites in Babylon gave those things for God’s Temple. ²⁶ I weighed all these things. There were 25 tons^[a] of silver. There were also 7500 pounds^[b] of silver dishes and things. There were 3 3/4 tons of gold.
