Context Reading
34Everything was counted and weighed; and all the weight was written at that time. 35The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to Yahweh. 36They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s local governors and to the governors beyond the River. So they supported the people and God’s house.
