RF EZR 8:15 Ezra Collects His Camp.
I collected them at the River that goes by Ahava; and encamped there three days, where I reviewed the People and the Priests, and discovered there were none from the Beni Levi there.
RF EZR 8:16 I consequently sent to Aliezar and Arial and Shemiah, and Ainathan, and Jarib, and to Alnathan and to Nathan, and Zakeriah, and to Meshulam, their Chiefs, and to Joirib, and to Alnathan, the Teachers,
RF EZR 8:17 and despatched them to Ado the Chief in the district of Kasiphia, and put a message in their mouths to transmit to Ado, and the Attendants their relatives in the District of Kasiphia, to send to us Guardians of the House of our God.
RF EZR 8:18 And they sent to us, by the good hand of our God being with us, intelligent men from the Beni Makhli-ben-Levi-ben-Israel; and Sharbiah and eighteen of his sons
RF EZR 8:19 and brothers; with Hashabiah, and Jeshaiah, from the Beni Merari, with twenty of his brothers and sons.

I then proclaimed a Fast at the River by Ahava to humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey, for ourselves, our children, and all our baggage,
RF EZR 8:22 for I was ashamed to ask the king for an army and cavalry to guard us from enemies on the road, because we had said to the king the power of our GOD was with all who seek Him to benefit them, but His power and anger upon all who forsake Him.
RF EZR 8:23 We consequently fasted and entreated from our God about this and He was ready with us.
RF EZR 8:24 The Subscriptions to the Temple.
I next selected twelve from the Chief Priests—that is Sherbiah and Hashabiah, and ten of their companions with them,
RF EZR 8:25 and weighed the silver and gold to them, as well as the vessels presented to the House of God, the presents of the King and! his Counsellors, and his Generals, and the subscriptions of all Israel.
RF EZR 8:26 I there weighed into their custody six hundred talents of silver, and a hundred and fifty talents of silver vessels and a hundred talents of gold.1
—————
1. Note.—Ch. 8 v 26. The Bullion, by mere weight was of Silver, £182,250 and of Gold, £547,500 sterling, but in purchasing value probably, ten or fifteen times the present power in our day (1903). If we take ten times as the equivalent, it represents £7,188,150 sterling. If fifteen times, it reaches £10,592,300 sterling, and even that is probably below the then commercial power of this magnificent subscription.—F.F.
RF EZR 8:27 Beside twenty bowls of gold of a thousand Darics, and two vessels of best bronze gold, as valuable as gold.
RF EZR 8:28 I then said to them, "You are consecrated to the Lord, and the sacred vessels, and the silver and gold are presented to the EVER-LIVING God of your fathers,
RF EZR 8:29 so guard and preserve them, until you weigh them to the chief Priests and Levites, and the Chiefs of the Families of Israel at Jerusalem, who will bring them to the House of our God."
RF EZR 8:30 The Priests and Levites then accepted the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry to Jerusalem to the House of our God.
RF EZR 8:31 The March begun from the Ahava.
We afterwards marched from the River by Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, and the hand of God was with us, and protected us from the hand of any enemy, or robber on the journey.
RF EZR 8:32 Thus we arrived at Jerusalem and rested for three days,
RF EZR 8:33 and on the fourth day the silver, gold and vessels for the House of our God were weighed by the hand of Meremoth-ben-Adriah the Priest, and with him were Aliezar-ben-Phinehas, and with them Jozabad-ben-Ishua and Noadiah-ben-Bigvi, the Levite,
RF EZR 8:34 the whole were by number and weight, and the whole weight was recorded at the time.
RF EZR 8:35 The Returned Transports offer Gifts.
The sons of the Transportation, who had come from captivity, then offered burnt-offerings to the God of Israel;—Twelve bulls, for all Israel; Ninety-six rams; Seventy-seven lambs; and Twelve he-goats as a sin-offering,—The whole were a burnt-offering to the Lord.
RF EZR 8:36 They afterwards delivered the Decrees of the king to the Royal Governors and Administrators of the Over-river, and they assisted the People and the House of God.
