Ezra 8:28

28 et dixi eis vos sancti Domini et vasa sancta et argentum et aurum quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum vestrorum

Ezra 8:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 8:28

And I said unto them, ye are holy unto the Lord, the vessels
are holy also
As they were dedicated and set apart to holy service, so the vessels were sacred to holy uses, and therefore not to be converted to any other:

and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God
of your fathers:
and therefore not to be made use of but in his service.

27 et crateras aureos viginti qui habebant solidos millenos et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo pulchra ut aurum

28 et dixi eis vos sancti Domini et vasa sancta et argentum et aurum quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum vestrorum
