29 So guard these things carefully. You are responsible for them until you give them to the Temple leaders in Jerusalem. You will give them to the leading Levites and the family leaders of Israel. They will weigh them and put them in the rooms of the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem.”

31 On the twelfth day of the first month,[a] we left the Ahava River and started toward Jerusalem. God was with us, and he protected us from enemies and robbers along the way.
