And all the silver and gold, whatsoever you shall find in all the land of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and the priests that offer freely for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.

And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the firstfruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.

and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.

And [let] every [Jew] that is left [go] from every place where he sojourns, and the men of his place shall help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, together with the voluntary offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

With You is dominion in the day of Your power, in the splendors of Your saints; I have begotten You from the womb before the morning.

Let each [one give] just as he decides in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
