Ezra 7:15-20

15and to bring the silver and gold, which the king and his advisers have voluntarily given to the God of Israel, 1whose dwelling is in Jerusalem, 16with 2all the silver and gold which you find in the entire province of Babylon, along 3with the 4voluntary offering of the people and of the priests, who 5offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem; 17with this money, therefore, you shall diligently buy bulls, rams, and lambs, 6with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and 7offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 18And whatever seems good to you and 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. 20And the rest of the needs of the house of your God, for which it may be incumbent upon you to provide, 8provide for them from the royal treasury.
