15 and to bring the silver and gold the sovereign and his counsellors volunteer to Elah of Yisra El, whose tabernacle is in Yeru Shalem:
16 and all the silver and gold you find in all the jurisdiction of Babel - with the voluntary of the people and of the priests who volunteer for the house of their Elah in Yeru Shalem:
17 so with this silver, diligently buy bulls, rams, lambs, with their offerings and their libations; and oblate them on the sacrifice altar of the house of your Elah in Yeru Shalem.
18 And whatever well-pleases you and your brothers to do with the silver and the gold that survives, do after the intention of your Elah:
19 and shalam the vessels given you for the service of the house of your Elah, in front of the Elah of Yeru Shalem:
20 and the rest of the needs for the house of your Elah whatever befalls you to give - give from the treasure house of the sovereign.
21 And from me, even I - Artach Shashta the sovereign set a decree to all the treasurers beyond the river - that all that Ezra the priest, the scribe of the edict of Elah of the heavens, asks of you, do diligently
22 - to a hundred rounds of silver and to a hundred measures of wheat and to a hundred baths of fermentation and to a hundred baths of anointing oil and salt not scribed:
23 all that is of the decree by Elah of the heavens, do diligently for the house of Elah of the heavens: For why have rage against the sovereigndom of the sovereign and his sons?
