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 et ut feras argentum et aurum quod rex et consiliatores eius sponte obtulerunt Deo Israhel cuius in Hierusalem tabernaculum est

16 et omne argentum et aurum quodcumque inveneris in universa provincia Babylonis et populus offerre voluerit et de sacerdotibus qui sponte obtulerint domui Dei sui quae est in Hierusalem

17 libere accipe et studiose eme de hac pecunia vitulos arietes agnos et sacrificia et libamina eorum et offer ea super altare templi Dei vestri quod est in Hierusalem

18 sed et si quid tibi et fratribus tuis placuerit de reliquo argento et auro ut faciatis iuxta voluntatem Dei vestri facite

19 vasa quoque quae dantur tibi in ministerium domus Dei tui trade in conspectu Dei Hierusalem
