27 20 bowls of gold worth 1,000 darics,[a] and two vessels of fine bright bronze as precious as gold. 28 And I said to them, (A)“You are holy to the Lord, and (B)the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. 29 Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers' houses in Israel at Jerusalem, (C)within the chambers of the house of the Lord.”
