Ezra 6:7-10

7Leave the construction of the house of God alone. Let the governor and elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its original site.

8I hereby issue a decree concerning what you are to do, so that the elders of the Jews can rebuild the house of God: The cost is to be paid in full to these men out of the royal revenues from the taxes of the region west of the Euphrates River, so that the work will not stop.

9Whatever is needed — young bulls, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings to the God of the heavens, or wheat, salt, wine, and oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem — let it be given to them every day without fail,

10so that they can offer sacrifices of pleasing aroma to the God of the heavens and pray for the life of the king and his sons.
