Ezra 8:22-27 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

22. for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spake to the king, saying, `The hand of our God [is] upon all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] upon all forsaking Him.'

23. And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He is entreated of us.

24. And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brethren ten,

25. and I weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, a heave-offering of the house of our God, that the king, and his counsellors, and his heads, and all Israel--those present-- lifted up;

26. and I weigh to their hand, of silver, talents six hundred and fifty, and of vessels of silver a hundred talents, of gold a hundred talents,

27. and basins of gold twenty, of a thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining brass, desirable as gold.
