20 And you may get any other things that you need for the Temple of your God. Use the money in the king’s treasury to buy anything you need.

21 Now I, King Artaxerxes, give this order: I order all the men who keep the king’s money in the area west of the Euphrates River to give Ezra anything he wants.
