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 I and my advisers have freely given some silver and gold to the God of Israel. He lives in Jerusalem. Take the silver and gold with you.

16 Also take any other silver and gold you can get from the land of Babylonia. And take the offerings the people and priests choose to give for the temple of their God in Jerusalem.

17 Make sure you use the money to buy bulls, rams and male lambs. Also buy their grain offerings and drink offerings. Then sacrifice them on the altar of the temple of your God in Jerusalem.

18 You and the other Jews can do what you think is best with the rest of the silver and gold. Do what your God wants you to do.

19 Give to the God of Jerusalem all of the articles you are accountable for. Use them for worshiping your God in his temple.
