on Ezra 8:33-36

The returned exiles offered burnt offerings, and Ezra delivered the royal commission to the satraps and inferior magistrates; while the Levitical portion of them lent all the assistance they could in performing the additional work which the arrival of so many new worshippers occasioned.

This site's exposition

abode there three days

on Ezra 8:32-34

The company reaches Jerusalem and rests three days before any business is done, the same three days the muster at Ahava had once spent waiting on a shortage of Levites, now spent recovering from the road instead. On the fourth day the silver, the gold and the vessels are weighed again, this time by Meremoth the priest with Eleazar, Jozabad and Noadiah standing as witnesses, closing the charge Ezra had given at verse twenty-nine. Every article is checked by number and by weight, and the total is written a second time, so the treasure that left Babylon under one inventory arrives under a matching one.
