Ezra 8:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ So we gave up eating and prayed to our God about our trip. He answered our prayers.

²⁴ Then I chose 12 of the priests who were leaders. They were Sherebiah and Hashabiah and 10 of their relatives. ²⁵ I weighed the offering of silver and gold. And I weighed the things given for the Temple of our God. I gave them to the 12 priests I had chosen. The king, the people who advised him, his officers and all the Israelites there with us had given these things for the Temple.
