## Ezra 8:25-27 in Context (Verses 22–30 KJV)
 
 [22 ](/kjv/ezra/8/22) For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God *is* upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath *is* against all them that forsake him.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/ezra/8/23) So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/ezra/8/24) ¶ Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
 
 [25 ](/kjv/ezra/8/25) And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, *even* the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel *there* present, had offered:
 
 [26 ](/kjv/ezra/8/26) I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, *and* of gold an hundred talents;
 
 [27 ](/kjv/ezra/8/27) Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.**
 
 [28 ](/kjv/ezra/8/28) And I said unto them, Ye *are* holy unto the LORD; the vessels *are* holy also; and the silver and the gold *are* a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/ezra/8/29) Watch ye, and keep *them*, until ye weigh *them* before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/ezra/8/30) So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring *them* to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
