Priests entrusted with counted treasures

24Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.

25And I weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels—the contribution for the house of our God that the king, his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present had offered.

26And I weighed out into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and one hundred talents worth of silver vessels, and one hundred talents of gold.

27and twenty bowls of gold worth a thousand darics, and two vessels of fine gleaming bronze, precious as gold.

28And I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your fathers.”

29Be watchful and guard them until you weigh them out before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of the fathers’ houses of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Yahweh.

30So the priests and the Levites received the weighed amount of the silver, the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.
