there none of the sons
of Levi.

And I sent
them with commandment
unto Iddo
the chief
at the place
Casiphia,
and I told
them what
they should say
unto Iddo,
and to his brethren
the Nethinims,
at the place
Casiphia,
that they should bring
unto us ministers
for the house
of our God.

And by the good
hand
of our God
upon us they brought
us a man
of understanding,
of the sons
of Mahli,
the son

the son
of Israel;
and Sherebiah,
with his sons
and his brethren,

Then I proclaimed
a fast
there, at the river
of Ahava,
that we might afflict
ourselves before
our God,
to seek
of him a right
way
for us, and for our little ones,
and for all our substance.

For I was ashamed
to require
of the king
a band of soldiers
and horsemen
to help
us against the enemy
in the way:
because we had spoken
unto the king,
saying,
The hand
of our God
is upon all them for good
that seek
him; but his power
and his wrath
is against all them that forsake
him.
So we fasted
and besought
our God
for this: and he was intreated
of us.
Then I separated
twelve
of the chief
of the priests,
Sherebiah,
Hashabiah,
and ten
of their brethren
with them,
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:
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;
Also twenty
basons
of gold,
of a thousand
drams;
and two
vessels
of fine
copper,
precious
as gold.

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
ye, and keep

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 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.

Then we departed
from the river
of Ahava
on the twelfth
day of the first
month,
to go
unto Jerusalem:
and the hand
of our God
was upon us, and he delivered
us from the hand
of the enemy,
and of such as lay in wait
by the way.

And we came

Now on the fourth

was the silver
and the gold
and the vessels
weighed
in the house
of our God
by the hand
of Meremoth
the son
of Uriah
the priest;
and with him was Eleazar
the son
of Phinehas;
and with them was Jozabad
the son
of Jeshua,
and Noadiah
the son

was written
at that time.
Also the children

which were come out
of the captivity,
