The Gifts for the Temple

²⁴ From among the leading priests I chose Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten others. ²⁵ Then I weighed out the silver, the gold, and the utensils which the emperor, his advisers and officials, and the people of Israel had given to be used in the Temple, and I gave it to the priests. ^26-27 This is what I gave them:

• silver - 25 tons
• 100 silver utensils - 150 pounds
• gold - 7,500 pounds
• 20 gold bowls - 270 ounces
• fine bronze bowls, equal in value to gold bowls
