69According to their ability they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics That is, about 1,100 pounds or about 500 kilograms of gold, 5,000 minas That is, about 3 tons or about 2.8 metric tons of silver and 100 priestly garments. 70The priests, the Levites, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the temple servants settled in their own towns, along with some of the other people, and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns.
