I weighed into their hands 650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth 100 talents, and 100 talents of gold; also 20 bowls of gold worth 1,000 darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold. Then I said to them, “You are holy to the LORD, the utensils are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD God of your fathers.
