Esdras 7:19

19 Pero deposita en el templo los utensilios sagrados que se te han entregado para rendir culto a tu Dios en Jerusalén.

Esdras 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 7:19

The vessels also that were given thee for the service of the
house of thy God
These were vessels of silver, basins of gold, and vessels of fine copper; not what formerly belonged to the temple, they were delivered by Cyrus to Sheshbazzar; but what the present king and his counsellors freely offered at this time, see ( Ezra 8:25 Ezra 8:26 ) , those

deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem;
perfect and complete, the full number of them, as the word signifies ^F20; meaning not to be delivered before him, or in his presence, as a witness thereof, but that they should be dedicated and devoted to his service, who was worshipped in the temple at Jerusalem, and by the inhabitants of it; he seems as if he thought him a topical deity, the God of that particular place, which was the notion of the Heathens, see ( 1 Kings 20:23 ) , though he also speaks of him as the God of heaven.

Esdras 7:19 In-Context

17 Con ese dinero compra, sin falta, becerros, carneros y corderos, con sus respectivas ofrendas de cereales y de vino, para ofrecerlos en el altar del templo del Dios de ustedes en Jerusalén.

18 Con el resto de la plata y del oro tú y tus compañeros podrán hacer lo que les parezca mejor, de acuerdo con la voluntad del Dios de ustedes.

19 Pero deposita en el templo los utensilios sagrados que se te han entregado para rendir culto a tu Dios en Jerusalén.

20 Cualquier otro gasto que sea necesario para el templo de tu Dios, se cubrirá del tesoro real.

21 Ahora bien, yo, el rey Artajerjes, les ordeno a todos los tesoreros que están al oeste del río Éufrates, que entreguen de inmediato todo cuanto solicite Esdras, sacerdote y maestro versado en la ley del Dios del cielo.
