38וַיִּקְחוּ מִלִּפְנֵי מֹשֶׁה אֵת כׇּל־הַתְּרוּמָה אֲשֶׁר הֵבִיאוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִמְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ לַעֲשֹׂת אֹתָהּ וְהֵם הֵבִיאוּ אֵלָיו עוֹד נְדָבָה בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּֽקֶרThey took over from Moses all the gifts that the Israelites had brought, to carry out the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary. But when these continued to bring freewill offerings to him morning after morning,

39וַיָּבֹאוּ כׇּל־הַחֲכָמִים הָעֹשִׂים אֵת כׇּל־מְלֶאכֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ אִֽישׁ־אִישׁ מִמְּלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־הֵמָּה עֹשִֽׂיםevery single one of the artisans who were engaged in the tasks of the sanctuary came from the task in which they were engaged,

1בֶּן־שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים יְהוֹאָשׁ בְּמׇלְכֽוֹJehoash was seven years old when he became king.

2בִּשְׁנַת־שֶׁבַע לְיֵהוּא מָלַךְ יְהוֹאָשׁ וְאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ צִבְיָה מִבְּאֵר שָֽׁבַעJehoash began his reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

3וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוֹאָשׁ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה כׇּל־יָמָיו אֲשֶׁר הוֹרָהוּ יְהוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵֽןAll his days Jehoash did what was pleasing to GOD, as the priest Jehoiada instructed him.

4רַק הַבָּמוֹת לֹא־סָרוּ עוֹד הָעָם מְזַבְּחִים וּֽמְקַטְּרִים בַּבָּמֽוֹתThe shrines, however, were not removed; the people continued to sacrifice and offer at the shrines.

5וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹאָשׁ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים כֹּל כֶּסֶף הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־יוּבָא בֵית־יְהֹוָה כֶּסֶף עוֹבֵר אִישׁ כֶּסֶף נַפְשׁוֹת עֶרְכּוֹ כׇּל־כֶּסֶף אֲשֶׁר יַֽעֲלֶה עַל לֶב־אִישׁ לְהָבִיא בֵּית יְהֹוָֽהJehoash said to the priests, “All the money, current money, brought into the House of GOD as sacred donations—any money that someone may pay as the money equivalent of persons, or any other money that someone may be minded to bring to the House of GOD—

6יִקְחוּ לָהֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים אִישׁ מֵאֵת מַכָּרוֹ וְהֵם יְחַזְּקוּ אֶת־בֶּדֶק הַבַּיִת לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִמָּצֵא שָׁם בָּֽדֶקlet the priests receive it, each from his benefactor; they, in turn, shall make repairs on the House, wherever damage may be found.”

7וַיְהִי בִּשְׁנַת עֶשְׂרִים וְשָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוֹאָשׁ לֹא־חִזְּקוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־בֶּדֶק הַבָּֽיִתBut in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, [it was found that] the priests had not made the repairs on the House.

8וַיִּקְרָא הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוֹאָשׁ לִיהוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן וְלַכֹּהֲנִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם מַדּוּעַ אֵינְכֶם מְחַזְּקִים אֶת־בֶּדֶק הַבָּיִת וְעַתָּה אַל־תִּקְחֽוּ־כֶסֶף מֵאֵת מַכָּרֵיכֶם כִּֽי־לְבֶדֶק הַבַּיִת תִּתְּנֻֽהוּSo King Jehoash summoned the priest Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “Why have you not kept the House in repair? Now do not accept money from your benefactors anymore, but have it donated for the repair of the House.”

9וַיֵּאֹתוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים לְבִלְתִּי קְחַת־כֶּסֶף מֵאֵת הָעָם וּלְבִלְתִּי חַזֵּק אֶת־בֶּדֶק הַבָּֽיִתThe priests agreed that they would neither accept money from the people nor make repairs on the House.

10וַיִּקַּח יְהוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן אֲרוֹן אֶחָד וַיִּקֹּב חֹר בְּדַלְתּוֹ וַיִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ אֵצֶל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ (בימין) [מִיָּמִין] בְּבוֹא־אִישׁ בֵּית יְהֹוָה וְנָֽתְנוּ־שָׁמָּה הַכֹּֽהֲנִים שֹׁמְרֵי הַסַּף אֶת־כׇּל־הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵית־יְהֹוָֽהAnd the priest Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it at the right side of the altar as one entered the House of GOD, and the priestly guards of the threshold deposited there all the money that was brought into the House of GOD.

11וַֽיְהִי כִּרְאוֹתָם כִּי־רַב הַכֶּסֶף בָּאָרוֹן וַיַּעַל סֹפֵר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיָּצֻרוּ וַיִּמְנוּ אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף הַנִּמְצָא בֵית־יְהֹוָֽהWhenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, the royal scribe and the high priest would come up and put the money accumulated in the House of GOD into bags, and they would count it.

12וְנָֽתְנוּ אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף הַֽמְתֻכָּן עַל־[יְדֵי] (יד) עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה (הפקדים) [הַמֻּפְקָדִים] בֵּית יְהֹוָה וַיּוֹצִיאֻהוּ לְחָרָשֵׁי הָעֵץ וְלַבֹּנִים הָעֹשִׂים בֵּית יְהֹוָֽהThen they would deliver the money that was weighed out to the overseers of the work, who were in charge of the House of GOD. These, in turn, used to pay the carpenters and the laborers who worked on the House of GOD,

13וְלַגֹּֽדְרִים וּלְחֹצְבֵי הָאֶבֶן וְלִקְנוֹת עֵצִים וְאַבְנֵי מַחְצֵב לְחַזֵּק אֶת־בֶּדֶק בֵּית־יְהֹוָה וּלְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֵצֵא עַל־הַבַּיִת לְחׇזְקָֽהand the masons and the stonecutters. They also paid for wood and for quarried stone with which to make the repairs on the House of GOD, and for every other expenditure that had to be made in repairing the House.

14אַךְ לֹא יֵעָשֶׂה בֵּית יְהֹוָה סִפּוֹת כֶּסֶף מְזַמְּרוֹת מִזְרָקוֹת חֲצֹצְרוֹת כׇּל־כְּלִי זָהָב וּכְלִי־כָסֶף מִן־הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵית־יְהֹוָֽהHowever, no silver bowls and no snuffers, basins, or trumpets—no vessels of gold or silver—were made at the House of GOD from the money brought into the House of GOD;

15כִּֽי־לְעֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה יִתְּנֻהוּ וְחִזְּקוּ־בוֹ אֶת־בֵּית יְהֹוָֽהthis was given only to the overseers of the work for the repair of the House of GOD.

17כֶּסֶף אָשָׁם וְכֶסֶף חַטָּאוֹת לֹא יוּבָא בֵּית יְהֹוָה לַכֹּהֲנִים יִהְיֽוּMoney brought as a reparation offering or as a purgation offering was not deposited in the House of GOD; it went to the priests.
