Gifts for the Work

68After they arrived at the Lord’s house in Jerusalem, some of the family heads gave freewill offerings  for the house of God in order to have it rebuilt on its original site.

69Based on what they could give, they gave 61,000 gold coins,  3 tonnes  of silver, and 100 priestly garments to the treasury  for the project.

70The priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, and some of the people settled in their towns, and the rest of Israel settled in their towns.
