Ezra 7:15-20

15and to bring the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, 1whose dwelling is in Jerusalem, 16with 2all the silver and gold which you find in the whole province of Babylon, along 3with the freewill offering of the people and of the priests, who 4offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem; 17with this money, therefore, you shall diligently buy bulls, rams and lambs, 5with their grain offerings and their drink offerings and 6offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 18Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, you may do according to the will of your God. 19Also the utensils which are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem. 20The rest of the needs for the house of your God, for which you may have occasion to provide, 7provide for it from the royal treasury.
