11 Let as many as are so disposed, therefore, leave with you, just as I and the seven Friends who are my counselors have decided,

12 in order to look into matters in Judea and Jerusalem, in accordance with what is in the law of the Lord,

13 and to carry to Jerusalem the gifts for the Lord of Israel that I and my Friends have vowed, and to collect for the Lord in Jerusalem all the gold and silver that may be found in the country of Babylonia,

14 together with what is given by the nation for the temple of their Lord that is in Jerusalem, both gold and silver for bulls and rams and lambs and what goes with them,
