31 Then we set out from (A)the river Ahava on (B)the twelfth of the first month to go to Jerusalem; and (C)the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the way. 32 (D)Thus we came to Jerusalem and remained there three days.
Silver, Gold, and Utensils Weighed
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the utensils (E)were weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of (F)Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui. 34 Everything was numbered and weighed, and all the weight was written down at that time.
35 (G)The exiles who had come from the captivity brought burnt offerings near to the God of Israel: (H)12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, 12 male goats for a sin offering, all as a burnt offering to Yahweh. 36 Then (I)they gave the king’s edicts to (J)the king’s satraps and to the governors in the provinces beyond the [a]River, and they supported the people and the house of God.

Return to Jerusalem
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the river of Ahava to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushing on the way. 32 We came to Jerusalem and remained there three days. 33 On the fourth day, the silver, gold, and vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of priest Meremoth, the son of Uriah, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas. With them were the Levites, Jehozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui. 34 The amount and weight of all the weighed items was recorded at that time.
35 The exiles that returned from captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel; twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve goats as a sin offering. All was a burnt offering to Yahweh. 36 They delivered the customs of the king to the king’s satraps and to the governor of the province Beyond the River. And they supported the people of the house of God.

31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal(A) to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us,(B) and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way. 32 So we arrived in Jerusalem, where we rested three days.(C)
33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out(D) the silver and gold and the sacred articles into the hands of Meremoth(E) son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, and so were the Levites Jozabad(F) son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.(G) 34 Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the entire weight was recorded at that time.
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls(H) for all Israel,(I) ninety-six rams, seventy-seven male lambs and, as a sin offering,[a] twelve male goats.(J) All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 They also delivered the king’s orders(K) to the royal satraps and to the governors of Trans-Euphrates,(L) who then gave assistance to the people and to the house of God.(M)
