Ezra 8:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 The Journey to Jerusalem. I assembled them by the river that flows to Ahava, and we camped there for three days. During that time I noticed the people and the priests, but I was unable to discern any Levites.[a] 16 Therefore, I summoned Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were judicious men, 17 and sent them to Iddo the leader at a place called Casiphia, in order to procure for us ministers to serve in the house of our God.
