Ezra 6:8-12

8Moreover I make a decreeH2942 what ye shall do to these eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 for the buildingH1124 of this houseH1005 of GodH426: that of the king’sH4430 goods, even of the tributeH4061 beyond the RiverH5103, expenses be given with all diligence unto these menH1400, that they be not hindered. 9And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and ramsH1798, and lambsH563, for burnt-offerings to the GodH426 of heavenH8065; also wheat, saltH4416, wineH2562, and oilH4887, according to the word of the priestsH3549 that are at JerusalemH3390, let it be given them dayH3118 by dayH3118 without fail; 10that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savor unto the GodH426 of heavenH8065, and prayH6739 for the life of the kingH4430, and of his sons. 11Also I have made a decreeH2942, that whosoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his houseH1005, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his houseH1005 be made a dunghill for this: 12and the GodH426 that hath caused his nameH8036 to dwell there overthrow all kingsH4430 and peoplesH5972 that shall put forth their handH3028 to alter the same, to destroyH2255 this houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390. I DariusH1868 have made a decreeH2942; let it be done with all diligence.
