30So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
31Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.
32And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.
33And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;
34All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.
35And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.
36And they gave the king's orders to the king's captains and the rulers across the river, and they gave the people and the house of God the help which was needed.
