1 Esdras 8:54
King James VersionSource notes
“Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them:”
Context
51For I was ashamed to ask the king footmen, and horsemen, and conduct for safeguard against our adversaries.
52For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in all ways.
53And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, and found him favourable unto us.
54Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them:
55And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given.
56And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels of an hundred talents, and an hundred talents of gold,
57And twenty golden vessels, and twelve vessels of brass, even of fine brass, glittering like gold.
