650 talents of silver,
silver articles weighing 100 talents,
100 talents of gold,
20 bowls of gold valued at 1,000 darics,
and two fine articles of polished bronze, as precious as gold.

Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests and the Levites and the family heads of Israel."
