Ezra 8:25

And I weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the
vessels
When he delivered them to them; this he did as a proof of his own integrity and faithfulness, and as a security against any charge or accusation of embezzling any part of them, and to set them an example, and also that they might be under no temptation of acting such a part, and might be vindicated should they be charged with it: even

the offering of the house of our God;
what was freely offered for the service of it:

which the king and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel
there present, had offered;
as freewill offerings, see ( Ezra 7:15 Ezra 7:16 ) .
