Ezra Sends for Levites
15I gathered them to the river that runs to hAhava, and there we camped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there inone of the sons of Levi. 16Then I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and jMeshullam, leading men, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of insight, 17and sent them to Iddo, the leading man at the place Casiphia, telling them what to say to Iddo and his brothers and ▼▼Hebrew lacks and
the temple servants at the place Casiphia, namely, to send us ministers for the house of our God. 18And lby the good hand of our God on us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of mMahli the son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebiah with his sons and kinsmen, 18; 19also nHashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of othe sons of Merari, with his kinsmen and their sons, 20; 20 pbesides 220 of the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set apart to attend the Levites. These were all qmentioned by name. Fasting and Prayer for Protection
21 rThen I proclaimed a fast there, at the river sAhava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, tto seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods. 22For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, u“The hand of our God is for good on vall who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.” 23So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.Priests to Guard Offerings
24Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: wSherebiah, xHashabiah, and ten of their kinsmen with them. 25And I weighed out to them the ysilver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God that the king and his zcounselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered. 26 aaI weighed out into their hand 650 talents ▼▼A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms
of silver, and silver vessels worth 200 talents, ▼▼Revocalization; the number is missing in the Masoretic Text
and 100 talents of gold, 2720 bowls of gold worth 1,000 darics, ▼▼A daric was a coin weighing about 1/4 ounce or 8.5 grams
and two vessels of fine bright bronze as precious as gold. 28And I said to them, ae“You are holy to the Lord, and afthe vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. 29Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers’ houses in Israel at Jerusalem, agwithin the chambers of the house of the Lord.” 30So the priests and the Levites ahtook over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God. 31Then we departed from the river Ahava aion the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. ajThe hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way. 32 akWe came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days. 33On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were alweighed into the hands of amMeremoth the priest, son of Uriah, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, anJozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of aoBinnui. 34The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded. 35At that time apthose who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, aqtwelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 arThey also delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s assatraps ▼▼A satrap was a Persian official
and to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and they aided the people and the house of God.
