And I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Ye are holy{H6944} unto the LORD{H3068}; the vessels{H3627} are holy{H6944} also; and the silver{H3701} and the gold{H2091} are a freewill offering{H5071} unto the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of your fathers{H1}.
Ezra 8:29
Watch{H8245}{(H8798)} ye, and keep{H8104}{(H8798)} them, until ye weigh{H8254}{(H8799)} them before{H6440} the chief{H8269} of the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881}, and chief{H8269} of the fathers{H1} of Israel{H3478}, at Jerusalem{H3389}, in the chambers{H3957} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}.
Ezra 8:30
So took{H6901}{(H8765)} the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881} the weight{H4948} of the silver{H3701}, and the gold{H2091}, and the vessels{H3627}, to bring{H935}{(H8687)} them to Jerusalem{H3389} unto the house{H1004} of our God{H430}.
Ezra 8:31

Ezra 8:32
And we came{H935}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389}, and abode{H3427}{(H8799)} there three{H7969} days{H3117}.
Ezra 8:33
Now on the fourth{H7243} day{H3117} was the silver{H3701} and the gold{H2091} and the vessels{H3627} weighed{H8254}{(H8738)} in the house{H1004} of our God{H430} by the hand{H3027} of Meremoth{H4822} the son{H1121} of Uriah{H223} the priest{H3548}; and with him was Eleazar{H499} the son{H1121} of Phinehas{H6372}; and with them was Jozabad{H3107} the son{H1121} of Jeshua{H3442}, and Noadiah{H5129} the son{H1121} of Binnui{H1131}, Levites{H3881};

Also the children{H1121} of those that had been carried away{H1473}, which were come out{H935}{(H8802)} of the captivity{H7628}, offered{H7126}{(H8689)} burnt offerings{H5930} unto the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, twelve{H8147}{H6240} bullocks{H6499} for all Israel{H3478}, ninety{H8673} and six{H8337} rams{H352}, seventy{H7657} and seven{H7651} lambs{H3532}, twelve{H8147}{H6240} he goats{H6842} for a sin offering{H2403}: all this was a burnt offering{H5930} unto the LORD{H3068}.
