Ezra 7:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ The utensils that have been given to you so that they can be used in your God’s temple must all be presented to the God of Jerusalem. ²⁰ You may use the king’s treasury to pay for anything else that you must provide for your God’s temple.

²¹ I, King Artaxerxes, order all the treasurers ⌞in the province⌟ west of the Euphrates River to do exactly what Ezra the priest, a scribe for the Teachings of the God of Heaven, asks you to do.
