Priests to Guard the Offerings
24 And I separated twelve of the chief Priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren.
25 And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the consecrated vessels of the house of our God, which the king had offered and his counsellers, and his Princes, and all Israel of them that were found:
26 and I weighed in their hands of silver six hundred fifty talents, and vessels of silver an hundred, of gold an hundred talents:
27 and cups of gold twenty, which had a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, fair as gold.
28 And I said to them: You are the holy of our Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is voluntarily offered to our Lord the God of our fathers:
29 Watch & keep it, until you deliver it by weight before the Princes of the Priests, and of the Levites, & the Princes of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure of the house of our Lord.
30 And the Priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and of the vessels, to carry it to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
