2 Chronicles 24:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:9

And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem
By heralds appointed for the purpose:

to bring in to the Lord;
into the house of the Lord, and for the reparation of it; and so for his service, honour, and glory:

the collection that Moses the servant of the Lord laid upon Israel in
the wilderness;
not to bring in the tabernacle of Moses, as the Targum here and in ( 2 Chronicles 24:6 ) , but such a voluntary gift as Moses moved the children of Israel to bring, when in the wilderness, for the service of the tabernacle.

9 et praedicatum est in Iuda et Hierusalem ut deferrent singuli pretium Domino quod constituit Moses servus Dei super omnem Israhel in deserto

10 laetatique sunt cuncti principes et omnis populus et ingressi contulerunt in arcam Domini atque miserunt ita ut impleretur

11 cumque tempus esset ut deferrent arcam coram rege per manus Levitarum videbant enim multam pecuniam ingrediebatur scriba regis et quem primus sacerdos constituerat effundebantque pecuniam quae erat in arca porro arcam reportabant ad locum suum sicque faciebant per singulos dies et congregata est infinita pecunia
