The return to Dore, I assembled them at the canal that flows toward Ahavia, and we camped there three days. When I checked among the people and the priests, I found no Levites there. So I summoned Elyzer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Al-Nathan, Jirib, Al-Nathan, Nathan, to charge. and Mashalam, who were leaders in Joy, Arab and El Nathan, who were men of learning, and I sent them to Ido, the leader of Kesefia. I told them what to say to Ido and his kinsmen, the temple servants in Kaspia, so that they might bring attendance to us for the house of our God.

Because the gracious hand of our God was on us. They brought us Shiribaya, a capable man from the descendants of Mali, son of Avai, the son of Israel and Shiribaya's sons and brothers. Eighteen men in Hashabaya, together with Jashaya, from the descendants of Marari and his brothers and nephews, 20 men. They also brought 220 of the

temple servants a body that David and the officials had established to assist the Levites. All were registered by name. Thereby the Ahavia Canal.

I proclaim the fast so that we may humble ourselves before our God and ask them for a safe journey for us and our children with all our possessions. I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road because we had told the king, the gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks at him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.

So he fasted and petitioned our God about this. and he answered our prayer. Then I set apart 12 of the leading priests together with Shirabia, Shahabaya, and ten of their brothers. And I weighed out to them the offering of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his advisors, his officials, and all Israel present God.

I weighed out to them 650 talents of silver. Silver articles weighing 100 talents. 100 talents of gold. 20 bowls of gold valued at 1,000 derricks. And two fine articles of polished bronze has precious as gold. I said to them, you as well as these articles are consecrated to the Lord

the silver and gold are a free will offering to the Lord the God of your fathers guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem before the leading priests and the Levites and the family heads of Israel then the priests and Levites received the silver and gold in sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

On the 12th day of the first month, we set out from the Ahavia Canal to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way. so we arrived in Jerusalem where we rested three days on the fourth day in the house of our God we weighed out

the silver and gold and the sacred articles into the hands of Meramoth son of Uriah the priests Alizar son of Phineas

was with them and so were the Levites Josabad son of Yeshua and Nodia, son of Benui. Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the entire weight was recorded at that time.

Then the exiles who had returned from captivity, sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel. Twelve bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 male lambs, and has a sin offer. offering 12 male goats. They also delivered the king's orders to the royal satraps and to the governors of trans
