"The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'."
— 2 Kings 12:16, Bible in Basic English
“The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the Lord: it was the priests’. ”
But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;
But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.
And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.
The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.
