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 Also, bring the silver and gold that the king and his advisors have freely offered to the God of Israel whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,

16 and all of the silver and gold that you will find in the whole province of Babylonia, with the freewill offerings of the people and the priests giving willingly for the house of their God in Jerusalem.

17 With this money, then, with diligence you must buy young bulls, young rams, lambs, and their offerings and libations. You must offer them on the altar that is in the house of your God in Jerusalem.

19 And the vessels that were given to you for the service of the house of your God you shall deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
