Context — Priests to Guard the Offerings
26I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
2720 gold bowls valued at 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold.
28Then I told them, “You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
29Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.” 30So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.Cross References
