SCRIPTURE

"therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem." — Ezra 7:17 (ASV)

Buy speedily. —Provide first of all for the sacrificial ceremonial. Every sacrifice had its own meat-offerings and drink-offerings (Numbers 15:0). These phrases in the commission, of course, Ezra dictated.
