Ezra 6:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “For I have given a commandment as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews for the building of this House of God: that the revenue of the king which is from the tribute beyond the River shall immediately be given for these men’s expenses, so that they do not cease.

⁹ “And that which they shall have need of, let it be given to them day by day, whether it be young bulls, or rams, or lambs for the Burnt Offerings of the God of Heaven, or wheat, salt, wine and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who are in Jerusalem, without fail,

¹⁰ “so that they may have sweet odors to offer to the God of Heaven, and pray for the king’s life and for his sons.
