|
4. Joash said to the priests, "Take all the money brought as offerings to the Temple of the Lord. This includes the money each person owes in taxes and the money each person promises or brings freely to the Lord.
|
4. And Jehoash H3060 said H559 to H413 the priests H3548 , All H3605 the money H3701 of the dedicated things H6944 that H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , even the money H3701 of every one that passeth H5674 the account , the money H3701 that every man H5315 is set at H6187 , and all H3605 the money H3701 that H834 cometh H5927 into H5921 any man H376 's heart H3820 to bring H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 ,
|
|
5. Each priest will take the money from the people he serves. Then the priests must repair any damage they find in the Temple."
|
5. Let the priests H3548 take H3947 it to them , every man H376 of H4480 H854 his acquaintance H4378 : and let them H1992 repair H2388 H853 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 , wheresoever H3605 H834 H8033 any breach H919 shall be found H4672 .

|
|
7. So King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said to them, "Why aren't you repairing the damage of the Temple? Don't take any more money from the people you serve, but hand over the money for the repair of the Temple."
|
7. Then king H4428 Jehoash H3060 called H7121 for Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 , and the other priests H3548 , and said H559 unto H413 them, Why H4069 repair H2388 ye not H369 H853 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 ? now H6258 therefore receive H3947 no H408 more money H3701 of H4480 H854 your acquaintance H4378 , but H3588 deliver H5414 it for the breaches H919 of the house H1004 .
|
|
8. The priests agreed not to take any more money from the people and not to repair the Temple themselves.
|
8. And the priests H3548 consented H225 to receive H3947 no H1115 more money H3701 of H4480 H854 the people H5971 , neither H1115 to repair H2388 H853 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 .

|
9. Jehoiada the priest took a box and made a hole in the top of it. Then he put it by the altar, on the right side as the people came into the Temple of the Lord. The priests guarding the doorway put all the money brought to the Temple of the Lord into the box.
|
9. But Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 took H3947 a H259 chest H727 , and bored H5344 a hole H2356 in the lid H1817 of it , and set H5414 it beside H681 the altar H4196 , on the right side H3225 as one H376 cometh H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 : and the priests H3548 that kept H8104 the door H5592 put H5414 therein H8033 H853 all H3605 the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. Each time the priests saw that the box was full of money, the king's royal secretary and the high priest came. They counted the money that had been brought to the Temple of the Lord, and they put it into bags.
|
10. And it was H1961 so , when they saw H7200 that H3588 there was much H7227 money H3701 in the chest H727 , that the king H4428 's scribe H5608 and the high H1419 priest H3548 came up H5927 , and they put up in bags H6696 , and told H4487 H853 the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
11. Next they weighed the money and gave it to the people in charge of the work on the Temple. With it they paid the carpenters and the builders who worked on the Temple of the Lord,
|
11. And they gave H5414 H853 the money H3701 , being told H8505 , into H5921 the hands H3027 of them that did H6213 the work H4399 , that had the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 : and they laid it out H3318 to the carpenters H2796 H6086 and builders H1129 , that wrought H6213 upon the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 ,
|
|
12. as well as the bricklayers and stonecutters. They also used the money to buy timber and cut stone to repair the damage of the Temple of the Lord. It paid for everything.
|
12. And to masons H1443 , and hewers H2672 of stone H68 , and to buy H7069 timber H6086 and hewed H4274 stone H68 to repair H2388 H853 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and for all H3605 that H834 was laid out H3318 for H5921 the house H1004 to repair H2394 it .
|
|
13. The money brought into the Temple of the Lord was not used to make silver cups, wick trimmers, bowls, trumpets, or gold or silver vessels.
|
13. Howbeit H389 there were not H3808 made H6213 for the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 bowls H5592 of silver H3701 , snuffers H4212 , basins H4219 , trumpets H2689 , any H3605 vessels H3627 of gold H2091 , or vessels H3627 of silver H3701 , of H4480 the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 :
|
|
14. They paid the money to the workers, who used it to repair the Temple of the Lord.
|
14. But H3588 they gave H5414 that to the workmen H6213 H4399 , and repaired H2388 therewith H853 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. They did not demand to know how the money was spent, because the workers were honest.
|
15. Moreover they reckoned H2803 not H3808 with H854 the men H376 , into H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 they delivered H5414 H853 the money H3701 to be bestowed H5414 on workmen H6213 H4399 : for H3588 they H1992 dealt H6213 faithfully H530 .
|
|
16. The money from the penalty offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the Temple of the Lord, because it belonged to the priests.
|
16. The trespass H817 money H3701 and sin H2403 money H3701 was not H3808 brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 : it was H1961 the priests H3548 .
|
|
