Ezra 8:23 in Context — Ezra 8

21 Então proclamei ali um jejum junto ao rio de Aava, para nos humilharmos diante de nosso Deus, para lhe pedirmos um caminho seguro para nós, nossos filhos, e todos os nossos bens.

22 Pois tive vergonha de pedir ao rei tropas e cavaleiros para nos defenderem do inimigo no caminho; porque tínhamos falado ao rei, dizendo: A mão de nosso Deus está para o bem sobre todos os que o buscam; mas sua força e ira está sobre todos os que o abandonam.

23 Assim jejuamos, e pedimos isto a nosso Deus; e ele atendeu a nossas orações.

24 Então separei doze dos chefes dos sacerdotes, a Serebias e Hasabias, e com eles dez de seus irmãos;

25 E pesei-lhes a prata, o ouro, e os utensílios, [que] eram a oferta para a casa de nosso Deus que o rei, seus conselheiros, seus príncipes, e todo os israelitas que se acharam, haviam oferecido.
