Nehemja 7,73

71 Noen av familieoverhodene ga til skattekammeret for arbeidet 20 000 gull drakmer og 2 200 sølv miner.

72 Resten av folket ga 20 000 gull drakmer, 2 000 sølv miner og 67 prestekapper.

Prestene, levittene, portvaktene, sangerne, noen av folket, tempeltjenerne og hele Israel bosatte seg i sine byer. Da den sjuende måneden kom, var israelittene i sine byer.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
