I gathered them together by the water that

Mosollam the rulers, and Ioiarib and Elna

we myghte humble oure selues before oure

-- --
The complaynte of Esdras.
I was ashamed to requyre of the kynge, soudyers
and horsemen, to helpe vs agaynst the
enemy in the way. For we had saide vnto the
kynge. The hande of oure God is vpon all
them that seke him in goodnes, and his vyolence
and wrath vpon all them that forsake
him. So we fasted, and sought thys at oure
God, and he hearde vs.
E And I toke out twelue of the chefe pryestes,
Sarabia and Hasabia, and ten of theyr
brethren with them, and weyed them there
the siluer and goulde and vessels for the heaueoffering
vnto the house of our God, which
the kinge and the Lordes of his counsell and
prynces, and all Israel that were at hande,
had geuen to the heaueoffering: ∧ there weied
I them vnder their hand syx hundred ∧ fyfty
talentes of syluer, and in syluer vessel an hundred
talentes, ∧ in gould an hundred talentes
twentye cuppes of goulde of a thousande
drammes, and two costly ornam&ebar;tes of good
brasse, as cleare as goulde, and sayde vnto
them: Ye are holy vnto the Lorde, therfore
are the vessels holy also, and so is the syluer
and goulde that is geuen of a good wil vnto
the Lorde God of your fathers: Watche ye
therefore and kepe it tyl ye weye it doune before
the chefe priestes and Leuites, and auncient
fathers of Israel at Ierusal&ebar; in the chestes
of the house of the Lorde.
F Then toke the
priestes and the Leuites that weyed syluer ∧
goulde and vessel, to brynge it to Ierusalem
vnto the house of oure God. So we brake vp
fr&obar; the water of Ahaua on the twelueth day
of the fyrst moneth, to go vnto Ierusalem: ∧
the hande of our God was vpon vs, and delyuered
vs from the hande of the enemies ∧
preuy waytinges by the waye. And we came
to Ierusalem, ∧ abode there thre dayes. But
on the fourth day was the syluer and goulde
and vessell weyed in the house of oure God
vnder the hande of Meremoth the sonne of
Vriah the pryeste, and with him Eleazar the
sonne of Phinehes, and with them Iosabad
the sonne of Iesua, and Noadiah the sonne
of Benoi the Leuites, according to the n&obar;bre
∧ weight of euery one.
G And the weyght was
all wrytten vp at the same tyme.
And the children of the captyuyte, whyche
were come out of preson, offered burntofferynges
vnto the God of Israel: twelue bullockes
for al Israel, syxe and nyntye r&abar;mes,
seuen and seuentye lambes, ∧ twelue goates
