8Also a decree has been made by me, if haply ye may do somewhat in concert with the elders of the Jews for the building of that house of God: to wit, out of the king’s property, even the tributes beyond the river, let there be money to defray the expenses carefully granted to those men, so that they be not hindered.

6Now, ye rulers beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and their fellow servants the Apharsachaeans, who are on the other side of the river, give these things, keeping far from that place.
7Now let alone the work of the house of God: let the rulers of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build that house of God on its place.
— Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 6:8 —
9And whatever need there may be, ye shall give both the young of bulls and rams, and lambs for whole burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, oil—let it be given them according to the word of the priests that are in Jerusalem, day by day whatsoever they shall ask;
10that they may offer sweet savors to the God of heaven, and that they may pray for the life of the king and his sons.
