Ezra 7:21-23
New Living Translation
21 “I, Artaxerxes the king, hereby send this decree to all the treasurers in the province west of the Euphrates River[a]: ‘You are to give Ezra, the priest and teacher of the law of the God of heaven, whatever he requests of you. 22 You are to give him up to 7,500 pounds[b] of silver, 500 bushels[c] of wheat, 550 gallons of wine, 550 gallons of olive oil,[d] and an unlimited supply of salt. 23 Be careful to provide whatever the God of heaven demands for his Temple, for why should we risk bringing God’s anger against the realm of the king and his sons?
