Ezra 8:28-30

Good News Translation

²⁸ I said to them, “You are sacred to the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and so are all the silver and gold utensils brought to him as freewill offerings. ²⁹ Guard them carefully until you reach the Temple. There in the priests' rooms weigh them and turn them over to the leaders of the priests and of the Levites, and to the leaders of the people of Israel in Jerusalem.” ³⁰ So the priests and the Levites took charge of the silver, the gold, and the utensils, to take them to the Temple in Jerusalem.
