Ezra 6:7-12

7let the work of this house of 1God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of 2God in its place.

8Moreover, I give orders what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews, for the building of this house of 3God: that of the king's goods, of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be diligently given to these men, that they be not hindered.

9And that which they have need of, both young bullocks and rams and lambs, for the burnt-offerings to the 4God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;

10that they may present sweet odours to the 5God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

11Also I have given order that whosoever shall alter this rescript, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

12And the 6God that has caused his name to dwell there overthrow every king and people that shall put forth their hand to alter [or] to destroy this house of 7God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have given [this] order; let it be done diligently.
