Ezra 8:34

34 iuxta numerum et pondus omnium descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo

Ezra 8:34 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 8:34

By number and by weight of everyone
They were delivered in by tale and weight, which exactly agreed to the number and weight in which they received them:

and all the weight was written at that time;
an account was taken in writing, and laid up, that it might not only be known hereafter what freewill offerings had been made in Babylon, but that it might be a voucher for the fidelity and integrity of those that brought them, should it ever be called in question.
