68 When they arrived at the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, some of the leaders of families gave offerings to rebuild the Temple of God on the same site as before.

69 They gave as much as they could to the treasury to rebuild the Temple -- about 1,100 pounds of gold, about 6,000 pounds of silver, and 100 pieces of clothing for the priests.

70 All the Israelites settled in their hometowns. The priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and Temple servants, along with some of the other people, settled in their own towns as well.
