Ezra 8:28-30

Living Bible

²⁸ I consecrated these men to the Lord and then consecrated the treasures—the equipment and money and bowls that had been given as freewill offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.

²⁹ “Guard these treasures well!” I told them; “present them without a penny lost to the priests and the Levite leaders and the elders of Israel at Jerusalem, where they are to be placed in the treasury of the Temple.”

³⁰ So the priests and the Levites accepted the responsibility of taking them to God’s Temple in Jerusalem.
