Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezra 7:16

"and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;" — Ezra 7:16 (ASV)

Which is in Jerusalem. —The repetition of this and similar phrases is characteristic of the literature of this period; but here, as in some other places, it implies deep reverence.
