3only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
4And Jehoash saith unto the priests, `All the money of the sanctified things that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, the money of him who is passing over, each the money of his valuation, all the money that it goeth up on the heart of a man to bring in to the house of Jehovah,
5do the priests take to them, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house, in all [places] where there is found a breach.`
6And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
7and king Jehoash calleth to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and saith unto them, `Wherefore are ye not strengthening the breach of the house? and now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but for the breach of the house give it.`
8And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,
9and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side, as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah.
