Then I selected twelve of the leading priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers;

Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

and I weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king, his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present there had contributed.

And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:

So I weighed into their hands 650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth a hundred talents, and a hundred gold talents,

I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;

and twenty gold bowls worth a thousand darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold.

Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

Then I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the utensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a voluntary offering to the LORD God of your fathers.

And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord ; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers.

"Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers' households of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD."

Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord .

So the priests and the Levites accepted the weight of silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
