Ezra 7:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 7:23

Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven
In the law given by Moses to the people of Israel:

let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven;
for the service of it, particularly sacrifices:

for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his
sons?
through the neglect of the service of God in the temple, and by reason of the default of the king's treasurers.
