Ezra 7:13-15

131I have issued a decree that any of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my kingdom who are willing to go to Jerusalem, may go with you.

14Forasmuch as you are sent 2by the king and his 3seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem according to the law of your God which is in your hand,

15and to bring the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, 4whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
