15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16 and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly, for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.
17 Therefore you will with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings and will offer them upon the altar of the house of your* God which is in Jerusalem. 18 And whatever will seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do you* it after the will of your* God. 19 And the vessels that are given you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem. 20 And whatever more will be needful for the house of your God, which you will have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house. 21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, will require of you*, it is done with all diligence, 22 to a hundred talants of silver and to a hundred measures of wheat and to a hundred baths of wine and to a hundred baths of oil and salt without prescribing how much.
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
