Ezra 7:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Also take any other silver and gold you can get from the land of Babylon. And take the offerings the people and priests choose to give for the temple of their God in Jerusalem. ¹⁷ Make sure you use the money to buy bulls, rams and male lambs. Also buy their grain offerings and drink offerings. Then sacrifice them on the altar of the temple of your God in Jerusalem.

¹⁸ You and the other Jews can do what you think is best with the rest of the silver and gold. Do what your God wants you to do.
