Ezra 6:8-10

New King James Version

⁸ Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this ^[a]house of God: Let the cost be paid at the king’s expense from taxes on the region beyond the River; this is to be given immediately to these men, so that they are not hindered. ⁹ And whatever they need—young bulls, rams, and lambs for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the request of the priests who are in Jerusalem—let it be given them day by day without fail, ^10 (A)that they may offer sacrifices of sweet aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and his sons.
