Ezra 8:28-30

New English Translation

²⁸ Then I said to them, “You are holy to the Lord, just as these vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. ²⁹ Be careful with them and protect them, until you weigh them out before the leading priests and the Levites and the family leaders of Israel in Jerusalem, in the storerooms of the temple of the Lord.

³⁰ Then the priests and the Levites took charge of^[a] the silver, the gold, and the vessels that had been weighed out, to transport them to Jerusalem to the temple of our God.
