Ezra 7:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ I, King Artaxerxes, issue a decree to all the treasurers in the region west of the Euphrates River:^(A)

Whatever Ezra the priest, an expert in the law of the God of heaven, asks of you must be provided promptly,^{(B) 22} up to 7,500 pounds^[a] of silver, 500 bushels^[b] of wheat, 550 gallons^[c] of wine, 550 gallons^[d] of oil, and salt without limit.^{[e] 23} Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for the house of the God of heaven, so that wrath will not fall on the realm of the king and his sons.^(C)
