Ezra 7:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ together with any of the silver and gold that you find in the entire province of Babylonia. You should also bring the spontaneous gifts of the people and the priests, given freely for God’s house in Jerusalem. ¹⁷ With this money you will be careful to buy bulls, rams, and lambs, as well as their grain offerings and their drink offerings. And you will offer them on the altar of God’s house in Jerusalem. ¹⁸ As long as it is God’s will, you and your colleagues may do what you think best with the rest of the silver and gold.
