About Eleazar
Eleazar is briefly mentioned in Ezr.8.33 as one of the priests who assisted Ezra in weighing the silver, gold, and vessels that were brought to the house of God in Jerusalem. This event took place after Ezra and the exiles returned from Babylon to Jerusalem. Eleazar, along with Jozabad, Noadiah, and Meremoth, was entrusted with the responsibility of accurately measuring and accounting for the temple treasures.
