Context of Ezra 7:19

17You must use the money to buy bulls, male sheep and lambs. You must also buy grain and wine to offer to your God. Offer them as sacrifices on the altar of your God's temple in Jerusalem. 18You and your friends may then use the rest of the silver and gold in the way that you choose. Decide what your God wants you to do. Also take the valuable things that you use to worship your God in his temple. Take them safely to him in Jerusalem. 20You may need other things to worship your God in his temple. You may take what you need from the royal store rooms. 21I, King Artaxerxes, give this command to all my officers in the region on the west side of the Euphrates river: You must give Ezra anything that he asks for. He is a priest who studies the law of the God of heaven.
