Ezra 7:15-23

Rotherham(i) 15 and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, who, in Jerusalem, hath his habitation; 16 and all the silver and the gold, which thou shalt find, in all the province of Babylon,––with the freewill offering of the people and of the priests offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem, 17 therefore, with all diligence, shalt thou buy––with this silver––bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal–offerings, and their drink–offerings,––and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem; 18 and, whatsoever, unto thee and unto thy brethren, shall seem good, with the rest of the silver and the gold, to do, according to the pleasure of your God, shall ye do. 19 And, the utensils which are freely given to thee for the service of the house of thy God, put thou back, before the God of Jerusalem. 20 And, the rest of the need of the house of thy God, which it shall fall to thee to give, thou shalt give, out of the treasure–house of the king. 21 And, from me myself, Artaxerxes the king, issueth an edict, to all the treasurers who are Beyond the River,––that, whatsoever Ezra the priest the scribe of the law of the God of the heavens shall ask of you, with diligence, shall it be done: 22 unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred measures of wheat, and unto a hundred baths of wine, and unto a hundred baths of oil,––and salt without limit. 23 Whatsoever is due to an edict of the God of the heavens, let it be done diligently, for the house of the God of the heavens,––for wherefore should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
