 8:15 ¶ And I gathered them together 6908 z8799 to x413 the river 5104 that runneth 935 z8802 to x413 Ahava; 163 and there x8033 abode we in tents 2583 z8799 three 7969 days: 3117 and I viewed 995 z8799 the people, 5971 and the priests, 3548 and found 4672 z8804 there x8033 none x3808 of the sons 1121 x4480 of Levi. 3878

 8:16 Then sent 7971 z8799 I for Eliezer, 461 for Ariel, 740 for Shemaiah, 8098 and for Elnathan, 494 and for Jarib, 3402 and for Elnathan, 494 and for Nathan, 5416 and for Zechariah, 2148 and for Meshullam, 4918 chief men; 7218 also for Joiarib, 3114 and for Elnathan, 494 men of understanding. 995 z8688

 8:17 And I sent y6680 z8762 them with commandment y3318 z8686 x6680 x853 unto x5921 Iddo 112 the chief 7218 at the place 4725 Casiphia, 3703 and I told 7760 6310 z8799 them what 1697 they should say 1696 z8763 unto x413 Iddo, 112 [and] to his brethren 251 the Nethinims, 5411 z8675 at the place 4725 Casiphia, 3703 that they should bring 935 z8687 unto us ministers 8334 z8764 for the house 1004 of our God. 430

 8:18 And by the good 2896 hand 3027 of our God 430 upon x5921 us they brought 935 z8686 us a man 376 of understanding, 7922 of the sons 1121 x4480 of Mahli, 4249 the son 1121 of Levi, 3878 the son 1121 of Israel; 3478 and Sherebiah, 8274 with his sons 1121 and his brethren, 251 eighteen; 8083 6240

 8:19 And Hashabiah, 2811 and with x854 him Jeshaiah 3470 of the sons 1121 x4480 of Merari, 4847 his brethren 251 and their sons, 1121 twenty; 6242

 8:20 Also of x4480 the Nethinims, 5411 whom x7945 David 1732 and the princes 8269 had appointed 5414 z8804 for the service 5656 of the Levites, 3881 two hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 Nethinims: 5411 all x3605 of them were expressed 5344 z8738 by name. 8034

 8:21 ¶ Then I proclaimed 7121 z8799 a fast 6685 there, x8033 at x5921 the river 5104 of Ahava, 163 that we might afflict y6031 z8692 ourselves x6031 before 6440 our God, 430 to seek 1245 z8763 of x4480 him a right 3477 way 1870 for us, and for our little ones, 2945 and for all x3605 our substance. 7399

 8:22 For x3588 I was ashamed 954 z8804 to require 7592 z8800 of x4480 the king 4428 a band of soldiers 2428 and horsemen 6571 to help 5826 z8800 us against the enemy 341 z8802 x4480 in the way: 1870 because x3588 we had spoken 559 z8804 unto the king, 4428 saying, 559 z8800 The hand 3027 of our God 430 [is] upon x5921 all x3605 them for good 2896 that seek 1245 z8764 him; but his power 5797 and his wrath 639 [is] against x5921 all x3605 them that forsake 5800 z8802 him.

 8:23 So we fasted 6684 z8799 and besought 1245 z8762 our God 430 x4480 for x5921 this: x2063 and he was intreated 6279 z8735 of us.

 8:24 ¶ Then I separated 914 z8686 twelve 8147 6240 of the chief 8269 x4480 of the priests, 3548 Sherebiah, 8274 Hashabiah, 2811 and ten 6235 of their brethren 251 x4480 with x5973 them,

 8:25 And weighed 8254 z8799 unto them x853 the silver, 3701 and the gold, 2091 and the vessels, 3627 [even] the offering 8641 of the house 1004 of our God, 430 which the king, 4428 and his counsellors, 3289 z8802 and his lords, 8269 and all x3605 Israel 3478 [there] present, 4672 z8737 had offered: 7311 z8689

 8:26 I even weighed 8254 z8799 unto x5921 their hand 3027 six 8337 hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 talents 3603 of silver, 3701 and silver 3701 vessels 3627 an hundred 3967 talents, 3603 [and] of gold 2091 an hundred 3967 talents; 3603

 8:27 Also twenty 6242 basons 3713 of gold, 2091 of a thousand 505 drams; 150 and two 8147 vessels 3627 of fine 2896 6668 z8716 copper, 5178 precious y2532 x2530 as gold. 2091

 8:28 And I said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Ye x859 [are] holy 6944 unto the LORD; 3068 the vessels 3627 [are] holy 6944 also; and the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 [are] a freewill offering 5071 unto the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers. 1

 8:29 Watch 8245 z8798 ye, and keep 8104 z8798 [them], until x5704 ye weigh 8254 z8799 [them] before 6440 the chief 8269 of the priests 3548 and the Levites, 3881 and chief 8269 of the fathers 1 of Israel, 3478 at Jerusalem, 3389 in the chambers 3957 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 8:30 So took 6901 z8765 the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881 the weight 4948 of the silver, 3701 and the gold, 2091 and the vessels, 3627 to bring 935 z8687 [them] to Jerusalem 3389 unto the house 1004 of our God. 430

 8:31 ¶ Then we departed 5265 z8799 from the river 5104 x4480 of Ahava 163 on the twelfth 8147 6240 [day] of the first 7223 month, 2320 to go y3212 z8800 x1980 unto Jerusalem: 3389 and the hand 3027 of our God 430 was x1961 upon x5921 us, and he delivered 5337 z8686 us from the hand 3709 x4480 of the enemy, 341 z8802 and of such as lay in wait 693 z8802 by x5921 the way. 1870

 8:32 And we came 935 z8799 to Jerusalem, 3389 and abode 3427 z8799 there x8033 three 7969 days. 3117

 8:33 ¶ Now on the fourth 7243 day 3117 was the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 and the vessels 3627 weighed 8254 z8738 in the house 1004 of our God 430 by x5921 the hand 3027 of Meremoth 4822 the son 1121 of Uriah 223 the priest; 3548 and with x5973 him [was] Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Phinehas; 6372 and with x5973 them [was] Jozabad 3107 the son 1121 of Jeshua, 3442 and Noadiah 5129 the son 1121 of Binnui, 1131 Levites; 3881

 8:34 By number 4557 [and] by weight 4948 of every one: x3605 and all x3605 the weight 4948 was written 3789 z8735 at that x1931 time. 6256

 8:35 [Also] the children 1121 of those that had been carried away, 1473 which were come x935 out y935 z8802 of the captivity, 7628 x4480 offered 7126 z8689 burnt offerings 5930 unto the God 430 of Israel, 3478 twelve 8147 6240 bullocks 6499 for x5921 all x3605 Israel, 3478 ninety 8673 and six 8337 rams, 352 seventy 7657 and seven 7651 lambs, 3532 twelve 8147 6240 he goats 6842 [for] a sin offering: 2403 all x3605 [this was] a burnt offering 5930 unto the LORD. 3068

 8:36 ¶ And they delivered 5414 z8799 x853 the king's 4428 commissions 1881 unto the king's 4428 lieutenants, 323 and to the governors 6346 on this side 5676 the river: 5104 and they furthered 5375 z8765 x853 the people, 5971 and the house 1004 of God. 430
