Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
Cada vez que los levitas llevaban el cofre de las ofrendas a los oficiales del rey y veían que contenía mucho dinero, el secretario del rey y un oficial del sumo sacerdote venían y vaciaban el cofre. Luego lo llevaban de vuelta a su lugar. Hacían esto día tras día y recogieron una gran cantidad de dinero.
Los levitas, el secretario del rey y un oficial del sacerdote trabajaban juntos diariamente para recoger y administrar las ofrendas del pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred during King Joash's reign in Judah (around 835-796 BC) when he was restoring the temple that had been neglected and damaged during the evil reign of Queen Athaliah. Joash had placed a collection chest at the temple entrance to gather funds from the people for repairs. The Levites were the priestly tribe responsible for temple service and maintenance.
