In context
19The vessels given to you for the service of the house of your God you are to deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem. 20And whatever else is needed for the house of your God and falls to you to provide, you may provide from the royal treasury. 21And I, King Artaxerxes, hereby issue an order to all the treasurers of Beyond the River: whatever Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of heaven, asks of you is to be done with diligence, 22up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred cors of wheat, a hundred baths of wine, a hundred baths of oil, and salt without limit. 23Whatever the God of heaven has commanded, let it be carried out with zeal for the house of the God of heaven, so that no wrath may come upon the realm of the king and his sons.
