1 Esdras 2:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. ⁵ If any of you, therefore, are of his nation, may your Lord be with you;^[a] go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel—he is the Lord who dwells in Jerusalem— ⁶ and let each of you, wherever you may live, be helped by your neighbors with gold and silver, with gifts and with horses and cattle, besides the other things added as votive offerings for the temple of the Lord that is in Jerusalem.”
