Ezra 8:31-36
New American Standard Bible
31 Then we journeyed 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 rescued us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the road. 32 (D)So we came to Jerusalem and remained there for three days.
Treasure Placed in the Temple
33 And on the fourth day the silver, 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 A notation was made for everything by number and weight, and all the weight was recorded at that time.
35 (G)The exiles who had come from the captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: (H)twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve male goats for a sin offering, all as a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 Then (I)they delivered the king’s edicts to (J)the king’s satraps and the governors in the provinces beyond the Euphrates River, and they supported the people and the house of God.

New Living Translation
31 We broke camp at the Ahava Canal on April 19[a] and started off to Jerusalem. And the gracious hand of our God protected us and saved us from enemies and bandits along the way. 32 So we arrived safely in Jerusalem, where we rested for three days.
33 On the fourth day after our arrival, the silver, gold, and other valuables were weighed at the Temple of our God and entrusted to Meremoth son of Uriah the priest and to Eleazar son of Phinehas, along with Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui—both of whom were Levites. 34 Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the total weight was officially recorded.
35 Then the exiles who had come out of captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel. They presented twelve bulls for all the people of Israel, as well as ninety-six rams and seventy-seven male lambs. They also offered twelve male goats as a sin offering. All this was given as a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 The king’s decrees were delivered to his highest officers and the governors of the province west of the Euphrates River,[b] who then cooperated by supporting the people and the Temple of God.
