33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God {Elohenu}, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth (elevations) son of Uriah (YHWH is my light), the priest. Eleazar (God has helped) son of Phinehas (mouth of brass) was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad (YHWH has endowed) son of Jeshua (he is saved) and Noadiah (meeting with YHWH) son of Binnui (built up). 34 Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time. 35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God): 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD {YHWH}. 36 They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps (Persian official) and governors of the region west of the Euphrates \governors beyond the River/, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God {Elohim}.
