12:1 Yoash reigns over Yehudah
12 In the seventh year of Jehu, Yoash became king in Yerushalem in the seventh year of Yehu’s reign over Israel. (His mother was Tsivyah from Beersheba.) He reigned for forty years 2 and all his life, he did what Yahweh had said was correct because he was instructed by Yehoyada the priest. 3 However, they didn’t remove the hilltop shrines where the people continued sacrificing and burning incense.
4 Then Yoash told the priests, “You all must collect all the money that’s donated to Yahweh’s temple, whether it’s the money they are required to pay or the money that they themselves decide to give as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple. 5 Each priest must bring what they’ve collected from their acquaintances, and use it it to make repairs wherever they find that there’s been damage to the temple.”
6 However, when the priests still hadn’t repaired the damaged portions by the twenty-third year of Yoash’s reign, 7 he sent for Yehoyada the priest and the other priests, and questioned them, “Why aren’t you all strengthening the temple where it was damaged? From now on, you all won’t take any money from acquaintances, but you’ll give it directly for repairing the damage.” 8 So the priests agreed to not accept money from the people, and that they themselves wouldn’t be the ones to repair the temple.
9 Then Yehoyada the priest took a wooden chest and he made a hole in the top, and he placed it at the right of the altar. When a person came into the temple, the priests guarding the entrance would place any donated money into the chest. 10 Whenever they noticed the chest getting full, the king’s secretary and the high priest would go and count the money as they bagged it up. 11 They used the funds to pay the supervisors and inspectors and the tradesmen doing the repair work: carpenters and builders, 12 and the masons and stone-cutters. They also paid for the timber and stones, and everything else that was needed for the temple repairs. 13 However, they didn’t use the donated silver coins that was brought to the temple to make silver bowls, snuffers, basins, or trumpets, or for any other gold or silver instruments within the temple, 14 because they passed on the donations to the people doing the work, and in this way Yahweh’s residence got repaired. 15 They didn’t audit the men who took the silver coins to the workers because the whole system was based on trust. 16 The silver coins that came as part of the guilt offering and the sin offerings were not use for temple repairs—they belonged to the priests.
Exo 30:11-16:
30:11 The tax for making the tent
11 Then Yahweh told Mosheh: 12 Whenever you take a census of the Israeli men, each man must pay a ransom to Yahweh for his life when they’re counted, and then the counting won’t cause a plague among them. 13 As each man crosses over to stand with those who’ve been counted, he must pay give a half-shekel coin as an offering to me. (That’s half of the official shekel weight of 12 grams.)[ref] 14 Every man who’s twenty or older must pay this contribution to me when he’s counted— 15 the wealthy aren’t expected to pay more, and the poor must not pass less than this amount when they pay this ransom to me to make atonement for your lives. 16 Then you must take that money from the Israelis and use it for work on the sacred tent—it will be a reminder to me that you all have made atonement for your lives.
Mat 23:35:
35 [ref]so that the judgement for all the deaths of godly people around the world will fall on you all. This includes the blood of the innocent Abel all the way through the centuries to the blood of Zechariah (son of Berekiah) who you all murdered between the temple and the altar.
Luk 11:51:
51 [ref]This goes all the way back to to the blood of Abel, right up to the blood of Zechariah who was recently killed between the altar and the temple sanctuary. Yes, I’m telling all of you, those crimes will be charged to this generation.
