Ezra 6:8-10

Names of God Bible

⁸ I am issuing this decree about how you must help the Jewish leaders rebuild Elah’s temple:

The cost for this should be paid out of the king’s own money from the taxes on the province west of the Euphrates. Full payment should be made to these men so that the work is not interrupted. ⁹ Also, whatever the priests in Jerusalem need for burnt offerings to the Elah of heaven—young bulls, rams, lambs, wheat, salt, wine, and olive oil—should be provided for them each day. Make sure that nothing is omitted. ¹⁰ Then they can offer sacrifices that please the Elah of heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons.
