Ezra 8:29-31

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁹ Guard them carefully until you weigh them again in front of the leaders of the priests and Levites and the leaders of the families^[a] of Israel in Jerusalem, before placing them into the storerooms of the House of the Lord.”

³⁰ So the priests and the Levites received the full weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels in order to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

³¹ Then, on the twelfth day of the first month, we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of enemies and from ambushes on the way.
