Context — Artaxerxes’ Letter for Ezra

17With this money, therefore, you are to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as needed, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and offer them on the altar at the house of your God in Jerusalem. 18You and your brothers may do whatever seems best with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God.

19You must deliver to the God of Jerusalem all the articles given to you for the service of the house of your God.

20And if anything else is needed for the house of your God that you may have occasion to supply, you may pay for it from the royal treasury. 21I, King Artaxerxes, decree to all the treasurers west of the Euphrates: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it must be provided promptly,

2	Ezra 8:33–34	On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui. Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.

The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers. Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.” So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

Ezra 7:19 Summary

This verse is saying that Ezra needs to give all the things he was given to the Temple in Jerusalem for God's service. It's like when we give our offerings to church, we are giving them to God for His work. Just like Ezra, we need to make sure we are using the things God has given us for His purposes, not our own, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30. By doing so, we can demonstrate our love and obedience to God, just like Ezra did in this verse, and as encouraged in 1 Corinthians 4:2.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the articles being referred to in Ezra 7:19?

The articles given to Ezra for the service of the house of God likely include the items listed in Ezra 8:24-30, such as gold, silver, and other precious items, which were meant for the service of the Temple in Jerusalem, as seen in Exodus 35:4-9 and 1 Chronicles 29:2-5.

Why is it important to deliver these articles to the God of Jerusalem?

Delivering these articles to the God of Jerusalem is crucial because it demonstrates obedience to God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 12:10-11, and ensures that the Temple is properly equipped for worship, as mentioned in 1 Kings 8:62-66.

How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship?

This verse highlights the importance of stewardship, as Ezra is entrusted with the responsibility of delivering the articles to the God of Jerusalem, much like the stewards in Luke 12:42-48, who are expected to manage their master's resources wisely and faithfully.

What can we learn from King Artaxerxes' decree in the surrounding verses?

King Artaxerxes' decree in Ezra 7:20-21 demonstrates the king's willingness to support the work of God, and we can learn from his example by being generous and supportive of God's work in our own lives, as encouraged in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 and Philippians 4:10-18.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I can demonstrate my obedience to God's commands in my daily life, just like Ezra did in this verse?

Gill's Exposition on Ezra 7:19

The vessels also that were given thee for the service of the house of thy God,.... These were vessels of silver, basins of gold, and vessels of fine copper; not what formerly belonged to the temple,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezra 7:19

And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, No JFB commentary on these verses.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezra 7:19

Ezra 7:19 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, [those] deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.Ver. 19. The vessels also, &c.] How naturally seemeth this king to care for the service of God! and what pity is it that he should so oft call him your God, and thy God, and not own him for his! So hard a thing it is to relinquish that vain conversation that people have received by tradition from their fathers. I will never forsake the religion that I have received from my forefathers, said Cicero. And the monarch of Morocco told the English ambassador that he had lately read St Paul’ s Epistles, and liked them so well, that were he now to choose his religion, he would, before any other, embrace Christianity. But every one ought, said he, to die in his own religion; and the leaving of the faith wherein he was born was the only thing that he disliked in that apostle.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezra 7:19
