8:24 The gift and donations for the temple

24Then I chose twelve of the leaders of the priests along with Sherevyah and Hashavyah and ten of the other Levites, 25and as they watched, I weighed out the gold and silver, and the valuable utensils—the offering for the house of our God that the king, and his counsellors and officials, and all the exiled Israelis who could be contacted, had offered. 26It came to three tonnes of gold, twenty-one tonnes of silver, and another three tonnes of silver containers, 27as well as twenty gold bowls that weighed another eight kilograms, and two polished bronze containers that were as valuable as gold.

28“You are sacred to Yahweh,” I told them all, “and the containers and utensils are sacred, and the gold and silver are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your ancestors. 29Look after them all carefully until you weigh them out in front of the leaders of the priests and Levites and the leaders of the Israeli elders in the chambers of Yahweh’s house in Yerushalem.” 30So the priests and the Levites accepted the receipt of the gold and silver, and the containers, to take them to Yerushalem—to the house of our God.

24And_set_apart of_leading_of the_priests two_plus ten along_with_Shērēⱱəyāh Ḩₐshaⱱyāh and_with_them of_brothers_of_their ten.
25And_weighed_out[fn][fn] to/for_them DOM the_silver and_DOM the_gold and_DOM the_vessels the_contribution_of the_house_of god_of_our the_offered the_king and_counselors_of_his and_masters_of_his and_all Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) the_present.
26And_weighed_out on hand_of_their silver talents six hundred(s) and_fifty and_vessels_of silver one_hundred of_talents gold one_hundred talent[s].
27And_bowls_of gold twenty at_darics a_thousand and_vessels_of bronze gleaming fine two precious_things as_as_the_gold.
28And_said to_them you_all are_holy_person[s] to/for_YHWH and_the_vessels are_holy_thing[s] and_the_silver and_the_gold are_a_freewill_offering to/for_YHWH the_god_of fathers_of_your_all’s.
29Watch and_keep until you_all_will_weigh_them_out to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_leaders_of the_priests and_the_Lēviyyiy and_heads_of the_families of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) in/on/at/with_Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) the_chambers_of the_house_of YHWH.
30And_took_over the_priests and_the_Lēviyyiy the_weight_of the_silver and_the_gold and_the_vessels to_bring to_Yərūshelēm to_house_of god_of_our.
