29 Watch and guard till ye shall weigh before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers to Israel in Jerusalem in the cells of the house of Jehovah. 30 And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem to the house of God. 31 And we removed from the river Ahava in the twelfth to the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the band of our God was upon us and he will deliver us from the hand of the enemy, and of him lying in wait upon the way. 32 And we shall come to Jerusalem, and shall dwell there three days. 33 And in the fourth day we shall weigh the silver and the gold and the vessels in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest; and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas; and with them Jozabad son of Joshua, and Noadiah son of Levites; 34 In number, in weight to all: and all the weight shall be written in that time. 35 They coming from the captivity, the sons of the exile, brought near burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven he lambs, the he goats of the sin, twelve: all the burnt-offering to Jehovah. 36 And they will give the king's laws to the king's satraps and prefects beyond the river: and they lifted up the people and the house of God.
