16. and all of the silver and gold that you will find in the whole province of Babylonia, with the freewill offerings of the people and the priests giving willingly for the house of their God in Jerusalem.

17. With this money, then, with diligence you must buy young bulls, young rams, lambs, and their offerings and libations. You must offer them on the altar that is in the house of your God in Jerusalem.

18. You may do whatever seems best to you and your brothers to do with the remainder of the silver and gold according to the desire of your God.

19. And the vessels that were given to you for the service of the house of your God you shall deliver before the God of Jerusalem.

20. And the remainder of the needs for the house of your God that falls to you to provide, you may provide from the house of the king’s treasury.”
