25 I weighed for them the silver, the gold, and the utensils. [These were] the contributions that the king, his advisers, his officials, and all the Israelites had contributed for our God's temple. 26 I weighed [the contributions] for them to guard: about 24 tons of silver, 100 silver utensils weighing 150 pounds apiece, 7,500 pounds of gold, 27 20 gold bowls weighing 18 pounds apiece, and two utensils of fine polished bronze that were as precious as gold. 28 I told them, |You and the utensils are holy to the LORD. The silver and gold are freewill offerings to the LORD God of your ancestors. Ezra 8:25-28, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
