1 Esdras 8:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ I, King Artaxerxes, have commanded the treasurers of Syria and Phoenicia so that whatever Ezra the priest and reader of the Law of the Most High God sends for, they should give to him completely, up to 5,700 pounds of silver, ²⁰ up to one hundred kors^[a] of wheat, one hundred baths^[b] of wine, and a lot of salt. ²¹ Let everything be carried out for the Most High God strictly according to God’s Law, so that God’s wrath may not come on the king’s empire and his family.
