Lalu Imam Yoyada mengambil sebuah peti, membuat sebuah lubang pada tutupnya, dan menaruhnya di samping mezbah, di sebelah kanan jalan masuk orang ke Bait Yang Mahakekal. Ke dalam peti itulah para imam penjaga ambang pintu memasukkan segala uang yang dibawa ke Bait Yang Mahakekal.
Mishnah Shekalim
They may change shekels into darics because of the load of the journey. Just as there were shofar-shaped chests in the Temple so there were shofar-shaped chests in the provinces. The townspeople who had sent their shekels and they were stolen or lost: If the appropriation had already been made [the messengers] swear an oath to the treasurers; But if the appropriation had not yet been made they swear to the townspeople, and the townspeople must pay [new] shekels in the place of the [lost] shekels. [If the lost shekels] were found, or if the thieves restored them, then both [the first shekels and their substitutes] are [sacred] shekels and they cannot be credited [to the account] of the coming year.
