1 Esdras 8:12-16 World English Bible (WEB)

12. that they may look to the affairs of Judaea and Jerusalem, agreeably to that which is in the law of the Lord,

13. and carry the gifts to the Lord of Israel to Jerusalem, which I and my friends have vowed; and that all the gold and silver that can be found in the country of Babylonia for the Lord in Jerusalem,

14. with that also which is given of the people for the temple of the Lord their God that is at Jerusalem, be collected: even the gold and silver for bullocks, rams, and lambs, and things thereto appertaining;

15. to the end that they may offer sacrifices to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in Jerusalem.

16. And whatever you and your brethren are minded to do with gold and silver, that perform, according to the will of your God.
