Ezra 8:31-36
31Then we set out from athe river Ahava on bthe twelfth of the first month to go to Jerusalem; and cthe hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the way. 32aThus we came to Jerusalem and remained there three days.
Silver, Gold, and Utensils Weighed
33On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the utensils awere weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of bMeremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui. 34Everything was numbered and weighed, and all the weight was written down at that time.
35aThe exiles who had come from the captivity brought burnt offerings near to the God of Israel: b12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, 12 male goats for a sin offering, all as a burnt offering to Yahweh. 36Then athey gave the king’s edicts to bthe king’s satraps and to the governors in the provinces beyond the 1River, and they supported the people and the house of God.
