Ezra 8:29 in Context — Ezra 8

27 vingt coupes d’or valant mille dariques, et deux vases d’un bel airain poli, aussi précieux que l’or.

28 Puis je leur dis: Vous êtes consacrés à l’Éternel; ces ustensiles sont des choses saintes, et cet argent et cet or sont une offrande volontaire à l’Éternel, le Dieu de vos pères.

29 Soyez vigilants, et prenez cela sous votre garde, jusqu’à ce que vous le pesiez devant les chefs des sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et devant les chefs de familles d’Israël, à Jérusalem, dans les chambres de la maison de l’Éternel.

30 Et les sacrificateurs et les Lévites reçurent au poids l’argent, l’or et les ustensiles, pour les porter à Jérusalem, dans la maison de notre Dieu.

31 Nous partîmes du fleuve d’Ahava pour nous rendre à Jérusalem, le douzième jour du premier mois. La main de notre Dieu fut sur nous et nous préserva des attaques de l’ennemi et de toute embûche pendant la route.
