Ezra 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 7:17

That thou mayest buy speedily with this money
Thus freely contributed by one and another:

bullocks, rams, lambs;
which were for burnt offerings:

with their meat offerings, and their drink offerings;
which always went along with the burnt offerings, according to the law of Moses; and which the king seemed to have a right knowledge of, being, no doubt, instructed by Ezra, or some other Jew in his court:

and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in
Jerusalem;
the altar of burnt offering in the temple there.

Ezra 7:17 In-Context

15 And to take with you the silver and gold freely offered by the king and his wise men to the God of Israel, whose Temple is in Jerusalem,

16 As well as all the silver and gold which you get from the land of Babylon, together with the offering of the people and of the priests, freely given for the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem:

17 So with this money get with care oxen, sheep, and lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, to be offered on the altar of the house of your God, which is in Jerusalem.

18 And whatever seems right to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, that do, as may be pleasing to your God.

19 And the vessels which have been given to you for the uses of the house of your God, you are to give to the God of Jerusalem.
