Gifts for the Work
68 After they arrived at the Lord’s house in Jerusalem, some of the family heads gave freewill offerings(C1) for the house of God in order to have it rebuilt on its original site. 69 Based on what they could give, they gave 61,000 gold coins,(F1) 6,250 pounds(F2) of silver, and 100 priestly garments to the treasury(C1) for the project. 70 The priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, and some of the people settled in their towns, and the rest of Israel settled in their towns.(C1)
